Hey! Good question! Unfortunately I don't know how to get the dxf from autocad to work either. "I get Object has no surface information" or some such... I remember about a year+ or so I was having a similar issue, and some kind soul posted that an autocad solid could be exploded and somehow told to have vertexes. If indeed PhilC is right (by the way PhilC I owe you a bow for your efforts with Poser 5 dyna clothes and your unbelievable generosity in the way of free stuff, tutorials, and advice) that there is no way to get the autocad dxf into Poser in a useable format then we go to 3ds which in general I havent had luck with either. Sirkrit? could you please, if you would be so kind, maybe do noobie step by step for autocad to poser through 3ds? (Lousy just took autocad off system two days ago...) I also use autocad 2000 at work, designing signage, and I am so fast with it that any other modeler seems like starting all over. Plus, raydream doesn't boolean for a crap, and I was hoping that autocad might do a much better job at just about everything when it comes to machine/archetectural models. Also, I can design neon signs, channel letters, logos, etc. for use in poser scenes. Ryamka, I also have a bunch of files to convert, but sadly the intellectual property of the clients. I don't know if this would apply to you, per se, but I'm sure I'll be having to design all new stuff if I want to sell it. Anyway, here's to hopes we can find a way to convert autocad models!
