Brad, On the project I'm working I've received over a dozen dxf's without a problem, all produced by the same person in the same way. But with the two largest files (length, not file size) the system doesn't suggest scaling but does it automatically and just reports the scale factor it used. No fanfare, no blaring horns, just a little note on the import GUI. I suppose if no one knows I'll need to create/export/import until I find the limit. When I do I'll pass it on for the archive (so I can find it again). John
