Module File Size

[Brett Brown]

What should be the module file size of a line? 1300kb? is this right?
I have been wondering why my Detail module file sizes are so big. The full detail with hundreds of lines and fills is 1380kb. So why is the file size starting off so big? What could be causing this?
Doesn't change no matter what way I make the module either, publishing, saving from clipboard, or saving selection as a module.

single line saved as mod file under external content in Archi13:

existing project compressed: 253 k bytes

new blank project compressed: 105 k bytes

new blank project uncompressed: 122 k bytes

I'm somewhat surprised at the varying size from 37kb up to 253kb. Must be not a simple process any more with saving modules.

All of you seem to be 32bit AC? Anybody using 13x64 could test please.

I have searched every where for information on modules and find nothing on what effects modules in general. Anybody from Graphisoft can explain in detail what effects module sizes now?

Saving as an object seems way easier at a fraction of the size, also no hotlinks to update.

But modules and library parts serve rather different purposes.
