Hey Patrick, fwiw, I too have had a load of misaligned problems with importing dxf files too. From what I gather from others too, the dxf/dwg file is an awkward bug**r, so i don't hold Tim that responsible- Autodesk's standards on their own file formats are about as slippery as a bath full of eels!

However if Tim could crack this nut, (and he's done a pretty good job already), this would be awesome! BTW, I'm using an application called QCad as an alternative to ACAD. Apparently QCad's developers also have similar problems to what Tim has too, trying to keep up with ACAD.

At the moment, I'm importing dxf files, extruding them in VC, and then cutting the material out that I don't need. If I use VC's own drafting tools, I get great results, but because I am working from files from a different application (QCad), I am having problems where lines are supposed to be in (and I'm gonna use that term Jol told me the other day) occullusion (except I still can't spell the word!) with each other, but are leaving a waffer thin surface down one end. Very annoying :mad:

We can only live in hope!

This sounds like the same problem that was in Patrick's file. If so, its fixed in the next upload.
