I am running 3DS V2.01. I can not get it to accept a DXF file which was created using DesignCad 3D. The object began as XYZ coordinates in ASCII text, which were converted into a DXF by teh DesignCad 3D conversion utility. The points do come into DesignCad 3d Okay, and can be saved as natiev format for that program without problem. 3DS tells me I have an invalid 3D shape. What gives? Oh yeah, the dxf object has 5000 points, well inside the limit. Thanks Rich Schwartz

It's very easy for other programs to make invalid DXF files (invalid = file that don't conform to the DXF spec). Try loading the file into AutoCAD and see if Acad eats it. That's the acid test of a valid file. – G
