Board file size increases after mapping step file

JITHINDEV
JITHINDEV over 2 years ago

The file size increased from 15mb to 80mb after mapping the step files in the OrCAD 17.4 board file.
Can somebody help me in decreasing the file size?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

    Have you already tried working on the step file? Usually, if the file is not hollow, it'll have unnecessary details. Your ME might be able to help you with this
