I am successful using Architectural Series 17 for 3D mechanical design. The current project required designing 3D hoses that have an offset. Utilizing Custom Workshop I was able to export the hose attachment components (created in 3D Custom Workshop) into a dxf file. Using ViaCad Pro 9 I am able to import the dxf file and create my hoses using splines and the tube function. I am able to export the file as a dxf from ViaCad Pro 9 and import it back into Custom workshop. From Custom workshop I am able to save it as a Punch object.

The problem: the imported object does not appear in my 3D Custom Workshop object list though it does appear in Object Manger, and is shown in the correct folder. Help Please :-)
