I don't have the answer to your problem but just a few thoughts ....
- Could it be due to memory limitation for your PC? Try on another PC
with more ram if available. If not, try doing the "save as" with a few
more app's running (suck up even more memory) and see if the file gets
smaller than before - then you'll know its the ram that limits it. More
ram may the answer.
- youv'e made sure your HD isn't full right?
- check your virtual memory settings and try increasing it.
- you could split up your board into two or more files.
Good Luck

Subject: [PEDA] File Size Limit?
Hi,
Due to some weirdness at our assembly house, they can't accept a normal
pick
and place file.
They want a Protel ASCII PCB file, which they then import and create the
necessary data for their machinery.
This has been OK up 'till now, with an output file format of 35MByte.
A recent variant of our product has increased this due to more poly planes.
Now we get an error message
"File is too large" on doing FILE/SaveAs with ASCII file format, when we
look at the (partial) file that has been created, its 56MByte.
Is this limit on ASCII PCB files something we can get round, or is it a
hard
limit?
Thanks for any advice in advance....
Jason.
