<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=884581002-28052007>I am trying to
import DWG files into eQuest without much success. When I specify the file to
import, the preview window displays what looks like a reasonable drawing,
although the small size prevents discerning any detail. The resulting imported
drawing seems to have only a few layers of the drawing displayed, none of them
providing any information about floor or zone shapes. I have tried numerous
combinations of layers to no avail (I can get less information, but can't seem
to get more). I have successfully imported files in the past, but zoning has
changed and, as the</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=884581002-28052007> building has two faces that are concentric arcs
with most interior walls laid out radially, so accurate location of vertices
without the drawings is next to impossible. As it is, I have to drop back to the
schematic wizard, get the zoning down, then patch in what I can salvage from the
earlier models. Any thoughts about what might be creating this difficulty. I
don't have a CAD package at my disposal, so I can't make adjustments to the
drawings themselves.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
