Compress a Document into a Smaller File

Models and drawings can be compressed into a smaller file during saving. The file format remains the same (drawings as VXP and models as VXM).

The file size is reduced to less than half of the original size, even as low as a fifth in the best case. Compressing the file is useful when the file is being read over a slow network. If, however, a fast local area network or a local G4 installation is used, the file compression has no benefits.

You can enable the compression of documents into smaller files by adding own keyword for a model and drawing in the user/Setup setup file.
