Hopefully the converted file size will be smaller than the 80+ megs of Soldiworks file (it's shrinking as I clean it up)
Wow, it changed from a few MB as a DXF to 80mb under Solidworks?

I know the interior bits are superfluous, and could be removed, but... that's a huge change. I remember the old thread where you were having the machine crash loading the model, and I couldn't fathom why. 80mb of data, and then rendering it onscreen, now I can.
