NX for Design

Summary


Details

--------------- 
The file size of a drawing is very large (~2Gb) compared to the content in it.


ug_inspect shows: 
Stream qafmetadata: 1949237177 bytes


The large file leads to performance issues and it connot be worked with this 
file in NX anymore.



Solution

 - Open the part in NX 
- File > Properties > Preview 
- uncheck "Store Preview" and "Store Previews" 
- Save the part


File size is now: ~4Mb and can be used without the observed issues.


ug_inspect now reports: 
Stream qafmetadata: 629 bytes


If needed, switch on the "Save Preview" options after this.
