Does anyone happen to use Cadkey with 3DS? I'm trying to load a Cadkey7 DXF file into 3DS and it isn't working. Even with simple objects like a cube 3DS doesn't find any entities. It will load circles but not straight lines. I've left a message in the Cadkey forum since it may have something to do with their DXF output. I thought someone may have experience with loading DXF files. I don't have any problem loading non-Cadkey generated DXF's into 3DS, which is why I don't think it is a problem with 3DS. Tim Krego

I've no experience with CADKEY, but you might try creating just a cube (you said that didn't work) and upload the code for that cube. If you tell us the size and position of the cube, those with AutoCAD will be able to create the same DXF file for comparison. I don't have AutoCAD loaded, or I would upload a 1x1x1 cube DXF file now. You could import it into CADKEY and then Export it again and compare the 2 DXF files yourself.
