• A: You may have used Edit / Insert Object to import your image file. Edit / Insert Object uses OLE (Object Linking Embedding), and OLE objects take up much more disk space than a simple Edit/PasteSpecial. Instead of using Insert Object, do one of the following: 1) Open your image file, select your image, then Edit/Copy. Go into CADVANCE and use Edit/PasteSpecial. 2) Use File/Open to insert your image file into CADVANCE.
