I am getting an error message while trying to bring in a dxf file into 3ds.
The message is "invalid rats nest". The Autocad drawing from which the dxf
file came, contained several Pface entities. Any clues out there????
It sounds like you've got something topologically screwy in your database.
Phil DeGeorge or Nik Grant from Autodesk tech support ought to be able to
help you with this. Yann Bertaud is an Acad hotshot as well. (Yann?)

Try breaking down the drawing to smaller pieces to determine which piece is
causing the error. How are you importing the file? By layer, entity or
color? How were the pfaces generated? If you find the particular mesh that
is causing the problem, save it as a new drawing and zip it up. If it's
small enough you can email it to me directly and I'll take a look at it.
