Hi,

I was trying to convert several dxf files to rsd last night that were
created with AutoCad (R13c4). The only object which even remotely
worked was a cube - however several faces had been coverted from
quadrangles to triangles, some were missing etc etc.....

More complicated objects such as spheres and toroids failed to work at all.
They load into LightWave no problem at all. The dxf2rsd converter for both
windows and dos seemed to fail - the windows version with memory
violations.

The conversion tools seemed to be extracting the vertice information
properly,
however the normals and polygons were either incorrect or lost.

Is anyone else having this problem?
I'm starting to get a bit worried about creating objects in 3D modelling
tools and
being able to use them on the Yaroze with the tools available...

Help!

Cheers,
