Morning…
I have one of those chores today of importing dxf file with 4 curves…
making them mesh… setting the origin points on each…
rotate and scale…
then extrude…
then repeat this process with the following dxf…
each dxf has 4 of the same curves, as future objects, just different geometry.
to stream line this activity I take the prior 4 extruded, duplicate them…
then go into the data block and try to replace the mesh with the newly imported dxf after a rotate and scale apply…
BUT its not a single user.
therefore I need to make another by pressing the 2 on the right of the name. but this just makes a copy… after a while I am looking at a ton of orphans, and I know quitting and restarting will fix this… but that just adds to the list of unnecessary actions in this tedious activity.
there must be a way to just make it a single user without duplication.
does anyone know the structure well enough to point me in the right position to remove this speed bump?
cheers
