Hi CADies !
Did anybody happen to NOT manage to import DXF-Files into R13
because of errors like "theres no block named ..." or "there is
no linestyle like ..." ???
Yes I tried it all the way. With an empty startup-modell or not. It
allways fails to succeed. But the strange thing is that if you try
the same file with ACAD LT 3 it just works fine.
Any suggestions ????
Thanks allready !

Tim, try to INSERT * (exploded) the corrupt drawing into a new, no
prototype drawing.

Paul:
Here is an example for simple spline data extraction. With some
modifications, I think that you can make it work in your program:
;pick spline
(setq your_spline (entget (car (entsel))))
;extract all 11s fit points
(setq elevens (member (assoc 11 your_spline) your_spline)) 
;extract last fit point
(nth (- (length elevens) 1) elevens)
; and so on...
Hope this helps,
Adi
