I know nothing about AutoCAD, so can't offer direct advice beyond figuring out a way to export the data out of AutoCAD into a common format that is compatible with both products. Other options may be OLE automation (not sure if AutoCAD supports it) or asking AutoDesk support directly. In fact, I did a quick search and found some things on the AutoDesk forums: http://discussion.autodesk.com/thread.jspa?threadID=454029 At the very least, I am sure there are more people there familiar with the task there than here. But please come back if you are stuck with specific C++ questions, like memory issues, data structure design, etc. -- Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ "In the rhythm of music a secret is hidden; If I were to divulge it, it would overturn the world." -- Jelaleddin Rumi [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
