R13 DXF import (whether performed with R4c1 or the latest DXF3DS) will only
import what 3D Studio has traditionally been able to import and according to
the conventions already established for that conversion.
The new R13 entity types (splines, ellipses and ACIS solids) will be skipped.
To bring these new entities into 3D Studio simply use R13's 3DSOUT command.
This is the _only_ method to convert ACIS entities to polyface meshes (somewhat
akin to the old "SOLMESH" command). To bring splines and ellipses in as shapes
or lofts you will have to SAVEAS12, import them, and DXFOUT for 3DS usage.
Hope that helps,
