    When I do a save as to a new file name of a part or a drawing the file size
    gets cut in half, but they still look the same. Is this a safe way to
    PURGE a file and get the file size down?

    Yes it is but if you are sending it in for bug verification or repair it is
    best to send the bloated file. You also should be very careful of your file
    names and links to other files if you aren't careful it can cause a real
    mess.

    On our network, our "standard" parts are stored for reference access to all.
    To ensure that they are not changed, I set them all to read-only. I also
    use Unfrag to shrink them before setting the bit, and I don't know of any
    issues related to doing that.
