<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">Easy work around is to create polylines for each of the zones you have in cad the use ”list” command to get the x,y,z coord for each polyline/space then manually
input these in for each zone/footprint in equest. You can use one of the points as a baseline to subtract the difference from each of the subsequent points (ie. Your upper left most point of the building is say 85,30 in equest and 80,25 in cad. You would need
to add 5,5 to all points in equest). Can’t answer your question as to why exactly it isn’t working for you…

seems to be mis-shaping my zones (for example, the top line should be a straight line all the way along, but eQuest has added a different angle to the line on the top left zone).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
