Darin, The robust DXF import/export is not documented in the manual because it was introduced in Imagine 3.1. To load in a DXF object that has seperate entities check the following boxes only: NEW ENTITY -> NEW OBJECT LAYER CHANGE -> NEW OBJECT COLOR CHANGE -> NEW OBJECT Note, that even though an object was created with distinct seperate objects for hair, eyes, etc., it may have been saved, or converted to DXF from another format even, as a single object. In this case, you'd need to break out the individual pieces. To do this, enter points mode, select one point in say the hair, then select MORE until no more points get selected. Press SHIFT to see the point count increase and then stop. Once you have this object selected, HIDE UNSELECTED, then enter faces mode and select ALL. Then select SPLIT to break this object out. -GreG
