FREECAD step export
i use FREECAD to create and edit 3D models of electronic components.
When i open a 3D step model of a component supplier (to move the component origin) and export it from FREECAD the file size increase a lot, sometimes it's up to 5 times larger.
In the attached example the FREECAD step file is three times larger.
My workaround is to open the exported step file in an 3D viewer ( i use Kistler 3DViewStation ) and save it.
Then the file size is smaller.
My question:
How can i export in FREECAD a step file with an adaquate file size. ( comparable to the original file size. )

Now the file size is nearly the same the original step file has.
Thx.
