Save with Performance Improvement: shrink SOLIDWORKS files
Turns image quality down to its cheapest settings — shaded deviation at maximum, high-quality edges off, wireframe quality at its lowest — then saves a copy named <name>_Optimized.
Download Save with Performance Improvement.swp Get SwMacroFlow
Put the downloaded file in this folder, then open SwMacroFlow and choose it from the library.

The original file is left alone; only the copy carries the reduced settings.
Runs per file, on parts, assemblies and drawings.
Inputs

| SavePath | Where to save. Blank saves beside the original. |
| SubFolder | Put the saved file in an \Optimized subfolder, created if missing. |
