However, if I save your file from any of my other programs, it then reads into ViaCAD as expected. Which program did you use to create the drawing? Martin.

I contacted Punch!, but they said they can't help with How-To, only tech problems. I see this a problem, not a how to. It was drawn by a customer, so I'm not sure what program was used to create it.

The ViaCAD polyline only supports lines and needed to account for this type. Tim Tim Olson attached the following image(s): polyline.png (126kb) downloaded 7 time(s).
