I have a DXF file that exceeds the 9999 point limit (it is a road map). I was wondering if there is a way to break up the DXF before I load it into the shaper like a puzzle, so I can load only sections at a time. Thanks. -James Franssen

James, If you have access to the original drawing file or AutoCAD, I would just break the file up when the DXF file is created. Select entities when prompted and make several DXF files. Will this work for you? Bob W.

I can see how difficult it will be to create pieces of the streets. Thanks. -James Franssen
