Does anybody else have any problems with dxf files from another application? my big big problem is exporting from illustrator to a dxf or dwg. when i open the dxf or dwg, it crashes acad when i start a command. any command. i have to really manipulate the artwork involved before i can even think about using it and it takes too long when you have a lot of items to do. can anybody shed some light on what is going wrong? i have used a lisp in a previous thread which is fine, but changes the spline into plines which are not curved as the original spline was. help really appreciated. n.s.
