I have a part with many configurations. Now I have deleted quite a lot of those - but the file size has not changed.
There was a lot of features on these configurations, so I would expect the file size to get smaller.
Is there a way to "compact" a cleaned up part?
Google > ecosqueeze
Usually "Save Assing" to a new filename or location reduces the file size a lot.
-h-
Save as, with the same name, the simplest for one file.
Unfrag or ecosqueeze, as others said, for a bunch or a whole directory.

I've noticed this also, especially if you have previews of the configurations. Save As new name removes the previews.
Damian, I had a very similar thing happen. I had a simple screw that had tons of configurations. After using a macro to flip through the configurations, I saved it and it was around 50-60MB.
If I opened an assembly that had that screw in it in this bloated state, it would take forever but would open just fine. I then did a "Save As" to get the file size down to a reasonable size. Now, when I open an assembly that has that screw in any configuration other than the "last saved", I always get the 'ol "Parts Have Changed. Do you Want To Rebuild Blahh...Blahh....Blahh". Since I am NOT going to leave any of my library parts in this ridicules bloated state, I always get this error on basically every assembly I have.
SW2003 did not give you this error in this situation. I reported this in the beginning of SW2004 but nothing has ever become of it. I wish SW would fix this sh_t.
