not exactly sure what your last sentence means - copper pours? what is the purpose of the conversion?
we do the export as primitives with square ends we generally delete most of the layers incl: top, bottom, pastes, solder, keepout and more in the course of deleting all of that the copper pours go away this leaves the layers: outline, multi, topoverlay, maybe something else after deleting most of the layers we do an explode ALL in acad 2002 i think (but am not sure i remember this exactly) that acad R14 needs to do explode object by object that would obviously not be acceptable look around for a LISP program that will do explode all in R14 there is something called BOMB and there are others try cadalog.com for freeware lisp stuff Dennis Saputelli [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Greetings the List, > > Our draftsman tells us that the multi-layer issue is not so much of a problem.
