>> I typically started the conversion when I went home from work for the day and it was finished by the next morning. Ouch! Consider the following for making your giant DXF loads a bit easier: Export the AME components individually. Now this is a bit tricky because AME uses blocks. You may want to set your Undo Mark, SOLMESH, Explode the AME block, DXFOUT the resulting polyface mesh, Undo Back and move on to the next AME object. This will make the DXF files much smaller and contain only one object at a time. Now go to 3DS and merge them in one after another. The minor time taken to make the DXFs manageable will be paid back quickly in quicker conversions. – Phil
