- I can recommend 2 rather circuitous methods of dxf import that have worked
- for me in the past.
-
- 1. Syndesis includes a pc executable called dxf23ds.exe or some
- such. It will get the offending dxf into a much more solid
- 3ds (usually) which will then import to LW much better.
-
- 2. If you have access to Imagine 3.1, it now has one of the most
- solid dxf import/export routines I've seen. Save out the file
- as .iob and convert to LW.
-
- Hope this helps.
