SCUT3 Massive File Size, Grow uncontrollably

Hello,

I have a file with a lot of objects. A little over 1000. It was 80meg to start with, and when I moved a couple of objects and saved it jumped to 177 meg, I moved a few more and it jumps to 390 meg and will not open anymore. Does anyone know why it is doing this?

Version 3.071

I would email Brandon (software developer) and ask him. Brandon@craftedge.com. That is a HUGE file......

Do you have the items grouped together? Just curious if that would alter the size of the file.... Am also wondering if you need to simplify the nodes - it sounds like it is node intensive. But I have no clue what you are designing - just guessing that it could be simplified.

After much testing and troubleshooting I discovered that the size dropped after I deleted all the letters from the file. The size dropped to only 3meg. I then readded all the letters and fonts and it still stayed small at 3megs.

Strange! I would still caution you to check the nodes on your fonts. I don't know if you have been cutting a lot of fonts, but they are all not "cut friendly" and can have nodes on top of nodes and deliver not the cleanest of cuts because of their design.....
