Also, be sure to set to binary stls, they are much more compact than ascii
stls.

  Subject: Creating STL files in SOLID WORKS

Hi List,

I have a customer who is trying to generate STL files in Solidworks. He is
producing STL files of typical RP type components but they are coming out at
60 MB! what is he doing wrong?

Anyone have any ideas?

As usual all comments/suggestions gratefully recieved.
