projects saving as very large files...

When I save a project, the file size is gigantic, like over 2million kb. I don’t know what’s going on. These aren’t huge things I’m working on, when saved as tools, they’re only about 300,000 kb. I have the save undo history off, so I can’t figure out what’s going on. Thanks for any help. -Sam

Subdivision adds to file size. There was a post regarding what affects the size.

A project saves all custom tools in the Tool palette, the various materials that are loaded and a bunch of other stuff. It’s a very comprehensive save, and as such it can end up saving things you don’t actually need from session to session.

The ZTL format (Tool >> Save As) saves only the model with it’s SubTools, layers and any applied maps. As such it will typically be a smaller file size than a ZPR.

I was wondering if that’s what was going on. Is there a way to clear out my tool palette? Thanks for the help.
