Several n 1) We used to be able to assume that when a user did a dxfout they could turn around and do a dxfin and bring the same drawing back in. On the SUN Release 11 this is no longer possible for the following reasons. 1-Blank Linetypes are not allowed 2-Blank Layer nas are not allowed Linetypes with "()" in them are not allowed This is causing us grief since dxfout produces this information from the drawing. And I cannot find in the documentation where it says not to use "()" in linetype names, but that is alright we can code ound that problem. But having dxfout producing a dxf file that cannot be read in is bad! I could upload a file about 50K if you want to see the problem. We are now writing scripts to modify the dxf files to make them usable.
