Compact a Project

After a period of time, through general use, a project .eapx or .eap file might occupy more disc space than necessary. You can move the project to a local drive and compact the file to recover the unused space.

Access

Ribbon

Settings > Model > Integrity > Manage .EAPX/.EAP File > Compact .EAPX/.EAP File

Compact a .EAPX/.EAP File

Step

Action

1

Either:

  • Open the .EAP or EAPX project to compact    or
  • Ensure that there is no project open (you will be prompted after step 3)

2

Ensure no other users have the file open.

3

Select the 'Compact .EAPX/.EAP File...' option.

4

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

Notes

  • Always compact projects on a local drive, never on a network drive
  • In the Corporate, Unified and Ultimate Editions of Enterprise Architect, if security is enabled you must have 'Administer Database' permission to compact a project
