[SpaceClaim] STEP file size using Converter.exe

      I'm able to take a 3Meg SCDOC file and export it as a 2Meg STEP file if I uncheck the Split Periodic Faces under the General File options export section.

      But if I run that and other files through the Converter.exe utility the example file is 180Megs.

      Is there a way for Converter to use the same export settings as SpaceClaim?

      I have thousands of files that need to be exported, and the filesizes are extremely large otherwise.

      Hi, 

      Can you please confirm if you are using a student version here?

      I figured it out. I had multiple versions installed (2022, 2023 and 2024), I was using the converter for 2022 and found that the newer versions had different settings. I've since aligned ALL versions to have the same settings within the SpaceClaim programs. Now all the Converter versions output the expected results. It appears that any of the Converter versions use the 2024 settings despite aligning all the older versions to the same settings.
