HATS OFF TO YOU !!!! Finally a smooth conversion from Rel 11 DXFs to 3ds. An ABSOLUTE GOLDEN UTILITY! I really mean it. I had been doing all sorts of "through the hoop" tricks via lisps routines (CHBLOCK, XPLODE, PROJECT, etc, etc) saving to FLM so on and so fourth, well you know the bandage routine…. No sooner did I unZIP DXF3DS and spend all of 60secs skimming the DXF3DSl.BAT file did I ZIP with lightning speed to attempt this miracle TOOL on SHUTTLE.DXF (AUTODESK supplied sample with AUTOCAD REL 11). Sure SURE it REPORTED that it found names to all LAYERS, but did it R E A L L Y ……. YES !!!! Not only did it CREATE SUCCESSUFULLY seperate objects but handled my WELDING, NORMALS, and ALLOWED me to specify % (35 by default) for smoothness!!!!! I'm IMPRESSED !!!!!!! I have a great need for this utility (as you may have noticed) and GREATLY appreciate what I consider one of the most VALUBLE utilities I have dld in A LONG TIME !!!!! THANKS !!!!!

YES! Finally, we get a response from one of the dozens of people who've downloaded DXF3DS in the past few days. Thank YOU for the feedback, GH. The real thanks has to go to Dan Silva, for spending the time to make sure we did everything relating to conversion of DXF files perfectly. I will forward a copy of your message to Dan right away.
