Rather than re-zipping the FCStd (already zipped) file you can save with maximum compression. Setting in the Preferences.

Thanks Gene. It was already on Maximum compression level (level9!) Zipping brought it just under the limit.
Hi Chris, after messing around with my original model, I extracted the original splines, made a face and then a solid and booleaned them from a block. File size is much lower. compared to my test block from before, I'd used a facebinder to extract the bottom of the pocket from my original model and then extruded and minused that from a block - maybe that was the cause of the extreme amount of data. The original splines are much simpler.

Thank you for going to this effort, I appreciate it greatly
I have corrected my post above. I had forgotten to save before I uploaded the file.
Thanks for correcting me again . I may explain what had happened: I started with the B-spline below. Then I thought it might be slightly clearer if I had the wrong one on top, because in the Job it is above the right one ... And then I messed it all up.
