Template file size too big

Hi guys! each time we finish a project we take what might be used in the future and put in the template. But in this last project we made a complete revamp of our layer combinations, layers, pen sets graphich overrides, and material names, and layouts and a lot of stuff really. So basically this new project becomes the new template. The problem is i cant get the template file below 600mb .

Any ideas on how to reduce the file size? last resourse of course is start from scratch, but takes days to finish this kind of stuff

thanks!

Tried a file repair - and although Archicad took some time to repair
the file size remains the same

Seems this may be a problem.
Be sure to report it to your local support people.

A bit of a worry as I am looking at rolling 25 out very soon.
So far my 25 template (based on my 24 template) has not increased in size.
