Hi all

Am wondering; is there any difference in file size when using meter and milimeter in AutoCAD? Would drawings using meter be smaller than those with milimeter?

Tried scaling 2 drawings, m & mm respectively, but the filesizes are just the same.

Any comments?

Thanks!

The answer to your question is no. Since AutoCAD uses vector graphics, a line is a line is a line no matter how you measure it. File sizes increase when you start adding more lines and other objects.
