Tell your IT department the good news. There is no need to buy bigger hard drives this year! Better use the money to send you and your colleagues to those advanced SOLIDWORKS training courses you always asked for.

SOLIDWORKS 2015 files (sldprt and sldasm) are about half the size compared to the 2014 format! You might be even able to attach them to emails again.

I did a quick experiment yesterday upgrading the file set of a large assembly to SOLIDWORKS 2015. Take a look at the results:

45% file size reduction in SOLIDWORKS 2015
