replace one object with another at same position

[nikita011]

Hi, new DS user, need some help:
I have a drawing with repeating object: a circle, repeating 560 or 1120 times in certain area. Need to replace those numerous circles
with rectangles (same dimension as circle dia) at exactly the same position. Is there a simple command for replacing all objects at once,
and not (re)placing new object one by one.

Thanks!

I don't know of a "replace object" command. If the objects are evenly spaced, you can make a Rectangular Array to create a pattern from a single object.

Also, you might want to read the help instructions regarding "Blocks". If you make a pattern of 1120 circles or rectangles, you can group them into a Block and then they are not 1120 separate objects.
