Thanks everyone for all your help. Your tips & information has helped me out. Mike

The file I am having a problem with was saved as a dwg file through adobe illustrator.

thanks for the reply. I have installed the service pack. It is only one particular file that I have the problem with. I don't know what you mean "_recover". Mike

Thanks for the info. I will try and let you know.

thanks for the help. I have tried the bend but didn't know exactly what to do when I had to enter the equation for the curve.

Thanks for the reply. I am using Wildfire 1.0. I don't get the same options as what you described.

Does anyone know how to hide the assembly lines that show up on a 2D drawing? It would make the 3D view on the 2D drawing look better. On cables I can usually do a break and get rid of it, but not on the 3D views.
