Gene, I had a similar problem while trying to import images from DesignCAD 3. The native file, converted to dxf format would not load. What I finally came up with which worked very well (with several kind suggestions from the membership here) was to go into the setup routine and select an HP plotter from the plotter configuration section. (I chose the HP7475.) Instead of selecting a COM or LPT port, choose "disk file" output. Then plot the file to disk. This file is acceptable to WP5's graphics box, although a little slow to load. If you want something which loads faster, at a sacrifice of about 200-400 bytes is file size, use the GRAPHCNV program to convert the plotter file to WPG format. This file will load very rapidly and maintains all of the resolution of the original drawing. You can even "edit" the file to adjust its size or rotation within the figure box. Hope this helps. If you need more information, drop me a note here. I normally check in here at least 3-4 time a week. Guy Simpson, Sr. Chemist, NUS Corporation
