I&amp;#39;ve removed reports and tables not applicable to the library but little reduction in file size. 
 
 What are steps can I take to reduce the file size? 
 If not, how can I create a new library?

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7mb is a completely normal size for a library. The standard files that gINT ships with range from about 4 to 10mb and they are typically basic starting points for most users. I can&amp;#39;t imagine a scenario where&amp;nbsp;a library of that size would cause any issue with memory or performance of the program.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: gINT library file size approaching 7 MB</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/478621?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Aug 2018 16:03:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:81f96a57-5799-4abe-b423-8fb830ff81e0</guid><dc:creator>Allan P.</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Forgot to mention that I&amp;#39;ve done this already.

&lt;p&gt;1b) Split one library into multiple smaller libraries (UTILITIES -&amp;gt; Lib Merge/Copy)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seen folks work with libraries of size 50-60 MB successfully (depends on your machine and network environment if you share library via network location)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) UTILITIES -&amp;gt; Lib Merge/Copy -&amp;gt; check Copy To radio button -&amp;gt; under Target Library File text box, enter new library name -&amp;gt; click Execute button -&amp;gt; you will be informed that this library does not exist and prompted to create one - &amp;gt; confirm by clicking Yes button&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: gINT library file size approaching 7 MB</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/478600?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Aug 2018 14:23:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:82f6b8b3-f388-4a0d-9c20-b30da84b0815</guid><dc:creator>William Ladd</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I have a few different libraries that I use, file size ranges from 5.5mb to 10mb (for reference)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: gINT library file size approaching 7 MB</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/478598?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Aug 2018 14:20:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:ff44bbb0-78e9-44f3-bc34-62e0cade209a</guid><dc:creator>Craig Bower</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Try Utilities, Repair/Compact to reduce the size of the LIBRARY file.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
