In addition to Ted's good advice, here are some observations I have made for
best results when importing a DXF from ANY application:
1) In the "other" application, save the different parts of your objects to
different layers.
2) When importing to 3DS, derive objects from Layers. Do not Weld on import.
Do not Unify normals on Import.
3) Once the object is imported, you can weld it by selecting all of the faces
in a single object and using Modify/Vertex/Weld.
4) You can then try to Unify the normals by using Surface/Normals/Object
Unify. Some manual clean up may be required as per Ted's advice.
Good luck.
