Different export sizes from Aoi

Different export sizes from Aoi
July 10, 2008 11:15PM
In Aoi, when exporting to .stl , there are different export sizes for the same object. For example, for the "motor holder":

the size of the export from assembly.aoi = 541 kb.
the size of the export from motor-holder.aoi = 588 kb
[reprap.svn.sourceforge.net]

Maybe the difference isn't a whole lot, but what was contained in that 47 kb difference? For both .stl's:

Vertices = 1102
Faces = 2224

Bases on the number of vertices and faces, does that imply equivalence?

I'm guessing it has to do with "convert to triangle mesh", and other techniques to speed up load time, but are the different file sizes something to even worry about?

... maybe it's only some digits after the decimal-comma, when you displace the object in AoI.

As you have the same counts of vertices and faces, it should be the numerical value of the coordinates, what's different ...
