Gary, I've used large DXF files a lot to import buildings into 3DS from ACAD. Here are some tips. In AutoCAD make a block of every layer, then you do a write block of each layer-block creating a seperate drawing for each entity. This way you can make a DXF file for each layer (or for some groups of layers). (much easier then typing a list of entities you want to make a DXF of. (This is not always necessary but with very large drawings it is the easiest way I think) Then you can import all DXF files one by one in 3DS, and you will loose the Out of memory problem. But you will probably have to quit 3DS a few times saving the already imported DXF files. This does avoid the out of memory problem and lets you import large DXF files split up in 3DS. Christophe,
