In FIG. 1, object A is omitted for the sake of brevity. ... In FIG. 10, as in/with FIG. 1, object A is omitted for the sake of brevity.

I would like to know which of as in/with is correct in the sentence above I created, although you may think the phrase "as in/with FIG. 1" is redundant and unnecessary. The result of google search I made indicates both are used almost equally.

    I'm not answering this, but I would simply say in fig 10, like in Fig 1.

Asking whether to use "as in" or "as with" is exactly the same as asking whether you should use "in" or "with".

In documentation, a numbered 'figure' is normally a picture or a diagram. So, would you say that something is in a picture, or with a picture?

You would say that something was "in" a picture.

So, you should say "as in FIG. 1"
