"Microstation uses b-splines for a large part of modeling which 3ds doesn't seem to like" This is a problem that I don't believe we are currently addressing (I don't see it listed as a bug). Can you tell me more – even submit a file? This way we can address this as a bug. The DXF format is dictated by Autodesk, so there should be no illegal shapes in it as far as I can tell. But, are you saying that where Microstation would create, say a simple object that translates to b-splines, AutoCAD would create a DXF of the same object differently? If that's the case, a simple object in both the Microstation file format and the DXF it creates would be of great help in getting some help (or some information) on this. Thanks.
