I was working on my drawing and needed to create a BOM to hunt for solids of non-shell types and solids lacking a material type.

I didn't save the BOMs — that I know of.

But, my file ballooned MASSIVELY to 250MB from 77MB.

To reiterate, I didn't actively KEEP any BOMs to make them visible. But, many of the solids have BOM tables appearing in the Concept Explorer Entities tab.

There are some 772 solids that were exported to .txt, so, I think the file retained the BOM objects.

I already ran Compact. I ran Resolve Links.

Anyone know how to expunge them? Sny deep-reach to get my file back down to around 80MB.
