<p class=MsoNormal>Bruce and Alan,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve played with this quite a bit and settled on
creating a view (AutoCAD Architecture), referencing whichever construct I want
to model and then create an eQuest layer and trace the necessary vertices with
polylines. This eliminates the clutter and once in eQuest I reference the
ACAD file, check to see where my 0,0,0 vertice point is, change the grid size
to the difference I want to attain (once for x axis then once for y axis) and
by doing that I’m able to move the dwg to right where I want it. When all
that’s done I set the grid snap to only the dwg (no polygon or grid
snaps) and I’m then ready to roll with it. It took a few hours the
first time I did it, but having done it quite a few times it’s now reasonably
quick ‘n easy.<o:p></o:p></p>
