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!

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.
