Thanks for the help. I was trying to use Camtastic to export a board outline to 
be imported by an external vendor doing the board layout in Power PCB. When he 
imported it, he said it was 1000 times too small. I tried importing the file 
into a shareware dxf viewer (Acme CadSee) and it also appeared 1000 times too 
small there. I can't find any configuration parameters in Camtastic, so I'm 
stuck. I do have a little bit of information at negative coordinates 
(comments), but the board is definitely less than 40x40 inches. Any ideas, 
thanks.

Are you using the same units in AD as in Camtastic?

We use the both the DXF output and the DWG functions to translate to 3D models 
in CATIA.   We have used Camtastic and DXP with AutoCAD, TurboCAD, and CATIA 
with out experiencing any problems.   I recommend, the following,  all data lie 
within a 40x 40 inch area, the origin of that area set to zero and all data lie 
in the positive quadrants.
