I am having problems getting good DXF files into 3DS v.2. My client's machine parts; (ACAD DXF files), when imported to 3DS, ("Derive objects from:","Layer."), etc., are missing many faces, and show some of what are supposed to be holes, as solid cylinders. I have tried different weld thresholds, (with unified normals,) to no avail. I don't know ACAD myself, but supposedly my client has "DXF'd" his data and has run the "SOLMESH" command. (I believe he is running current release of ACAD.) Is there anything I can tell him to do differently before sending me these files?… I hope to put this project to tape SOON! THANKS.
