Multiple Sheets file storage method

Post by ohiolyons »

Does anyone know how multiple sheets stores data?

Where I'm going with this is, is it one big file or just a folder like concept where each sheet is stored separately?

My most recent (prior to 11) project, a toy chest consisted of 25 drawings totaling around 320 MB.
On the surface is sounds like it was tailor made for a multiple sheets.

Clearly a file of 320 MB opening, editing and saving would not go well, since Vectric software is not optimized for newer faster more capable computers.

It's all one file as far the user is concerned. It will be a lot smaller than the separate files as you won't be duplicating all the internal data that is stored in each file over and over.
