AutoCAD 14? Gee, why didn't I think of that <grin>.

.dxf would be AOK too, just used .raw as a lowest common denominator. 
CAn transfer between .raw and .dxf without problem.

3D Design almost sounded like what I was looking for, but the 1000
triangle limit eliminates it.  Thanks for the suggestion, tho, since I
WAS looking at it (or a similiar package - can't remember exact title)
in the local cheap CD clearance rack at Babbage's.  Glad I didn't buy it
just to find THAT limitation.

It sounds like I need to fire up the old compiler and get cracking.


Thanks again for the suggestion!
