Hi there, and thanks for your thank-you. Into the breach, again… 1.) <<closed p-line capped>> Set the FILL-PLINES variable to OFF in the 3DS SET file, its default is ON, which forces them to be capped. 2.) <<dxf file size huge, lose origin?>> Your files will always be spatially aligned in 3D Space in both ACAD & 3DS if you follow a few simple rules: -always import and export using 0,0,0 -don't move your geometry around in space -make sure AutoCAD UCS is set to WORLD whenever importing/exporting geometry DXF files do balloon up in size, but the 3DS file size is much smaller. I tend to WBlock stuff out to a file called Tran (sfer) to ensure that I'm only exporting what I think I am. (Check for construction lines, rogue layers, etc.) Regards, Gary
