big file

Hi,

My name is Moshe.

I have a problem: my file(s) have been way too big. one file got the "record" of 103MB.

I made 2 simple patterns (circular pattern, linear pattern). When I made the circular pattern, the file was of normal size (about 680KB). The linear pattern itself added like 41MB(Megas!) to the file.

does it make sense?? The circular pattern had 100 instances (and didn't cause a huge file), while the linear pattern, which was 50 instances, added more than 41 Mega Bytes.

Any way to make the same with less megabytes?

Thanks so much and have a great week and Sunday,

Moshe.
