<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm still trying to import a model from AutoCAD (DXF file, version 12) to ESP-r.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This time i made a simple model in ESP-r (the model from the Cookbook) and i have exported it to a DXF file to see the AutoCAD details. This step was ok.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the next step i tried to import the same DXF created by ESP-r to a new project and few errors have occured (as i list below) and the program (ESP-r) have closed... I tried to open this new model created, but the ESP-r have closed again... Can anyone explain me what happen?</FONT></DIV>
