    Compression

    You can select to compress your Job files by clicking on the check box to enable this feature Compress Files to Save Disk Space. This creates smaller file sizes of your jobs and is used mainly if hard disk space is becoming a problem.

    Please note that files that have been compressed will not be compatible with older versions of the Fabrication software that do not support compression.
