Jeff, I am importing .dxf files generated from AutoCad 12 .dwg files and tranfered to .dxf files through a software program called DXFOUT. These CAD drawings are of verticle assembly drawings of vinyl window systems. The objects have many holes and interior chambers to them. The problem I encounter is that all of the splines, polylines, and vertices come in to shaper as separate polygons. I have to capture all of the vertices and then weld them together to get the proper shape created in preparation for the Lofter. I there a way that these vertices can already be connected (either in AutoCad 12 or through some other conversion ((.dwg to .dxf)) program) so that I do not have to spend large amounts of time welding vertices together that should already be connected?
