My stl exports have gone from 20kb in DSM V4.0 to 2.5Mb when exported in V5.0. Same file. Only now I cannot open the file with V4 anymore and the file size exported from V5.0 is too large to slice. Do I have a setting incorrect wrt to stl export in V5.0 please? Is there a fix for this problem?

You still can't draw a polygon !

@PetrForejt Due to technical reasons, the polygon tool is available only with constraint sketching mode off: https://designspark.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010756297
