Kevin, Thanks for the info about material assignments by color in 3DS R2. I didn't know that. We have had a bunch of problems with DXF3DS, which we have not yet even resolved with CFIG386 — some DXF files produce a memory allocation errror and the two times that I have tried it, loading files by color only looks at enitity color, and not at layer color. I was just hoping that someone at Adesk would at least put something in the DXF3DS documentation about its memory use. You are right about R2 PRJ files, they do store device and resolution info correctly (I think?) but I had thought when I started using it that I was having to reset things more often. How about the image output path/name? I think that that was stored in R1! -Donald Newlands
