Papa, You are correct in pointing out the fact that the AES DXF translator does not produce a "correct" DXF file. It has *many* *many* bugs, and for that reason it did not pass our evaluation tests. Accordingly, we did not purchase it. Regarding testing the problem files with *NIX ACAD, I cannot (no access to *NIX ACAD), however, upon receiving my bug report, the Spiker himself repeated my testing on ACAD 386, ACAD 286, and ACAD on the SUNs, and he reported back to me that R11 failed on both the DOS 386 version, *and* the Sun version. The 286 version of R11 did NOT fail, but it also did not indicate the initial error messages at all. He did not elaborate on what this might imply about the AUDIT function's state of repair for the 286 version. See my last messages to Duff and Larry Beck for more info on this. Cutting to the chase, it's *very* unlikely that we'll see an R11c3 because of *this* bug…unless Adesk is suddenly deluged with many folks complaining about it. Which is kinda doubtful – to say the least <grin>. BTW, did you try it for yourself? Oh, and as I said to Duff, the <CR><LF> stuff wasn't a problem because the Tech support fellow massaged them into shape before I even tried to bring them into R11/386 <dos>. There's no doubt that there's a bug in the AUDIT function, but we're unlikely to see it addressed until R12 rolls off the assembly line. Regards, Mark B.
