76702,413 .. THE FOLLOWING SENT TO ANOTHER FORUM MEMBER IN ERROR.. We have attempted to use the DXF solution, 2 problems: 1: 2d motion generated from the polyline by 3ds, thus to get 3d motion we must gen 2 lines xy then xz and attach to dummies to get a 3d motion. 2: The data are REQUIRED to be frame accurate, so we must generate a point for each frame. 3DS then places 2 keys at each frame point causing us to have to manually remove the excess keys. THIS IS VERY TEDIOUS when 6 or 7 hundred points are involved, and is magnified 2x by problem #1 above. Cinetron is the manufacturer of professional motion picture animation and optical effects computer systems, and as you might suspect, we have massed a pile of stable motion software over the past 20 years and would very much like to port this to 3ds both internally for use by our guys who do legal visualization projects, and perhaps as a 3rd party supplier to 3ds.. PS we're developers for AutoCad Any interest? Thanks Charlie
