Oh, I was assuming you used AutoCAD….. Yes, if you import the .dxf files into AutoCAD (or AutoCAD LT) you could join them into polylines. Polylines are essentially a "line string". That is, a group of individual line segments that are handled as one line object with multiple vertices. Kind of like a SHAPE in the 2D SHAPER. There are many other cad packages that will "define" a polyline within the dxf file format. Do you have some sort of "polygon" object in GDS? That might help out. Do circles come into 3DS with caps from GDS .dxf exports? Also, in your 3ds.set file, there is an option to have automatic "closed area" capping turned off. Make sure this option is turned ON (it usually is by default). Good luck, -Jeff
