Hello all,

Is there a way to pattern or copy a solid in AutoCAD so that the copy/pattern is just a "light weight image"?

What we are finding is that copying and patterning solids in AutoCAD greatly increases the file size.

Other software like SolidWorks avoids this problem by using a "geometry pattern" and external references.

Thanking you in advance,

Joseph
