John, >>Paul, I don't think the difference in file size is a problem, the 3DS files are always much smaller after conversion so the problem doesn't seem to be the filles. Try naming your objects to specific layers in Autocad.<< I'm sorry to dissagree with you since you are voluteering your comments, but the size of the file is very significant in this case. To think that a .DWG file of 745,000bytes can be reduced to 569bytes and not signify that something is not right just dosen't wash. In any event I only have one object, comprised of 5 primitves having been booleaned through unions and subtractions, all on one named layer. The only other layer in the file is 0. I am convinced that this is a bug in the new C3b patch in R13…I only hope someone on that Forum (Acad) will respond. I have had problems in the past on that Forum with Adesk people not answering difficult questions and then learning that they knew of the problem but just elected to ignore it until they had a solution. I wish they reacted like the people here…this Forum is unbelievably responsive and knowledgeable Thanks for your comments. Paul
