Yes, it originates in AutoCAD. Thanks for the help, I appreciate you spending the time to reply.

There is a plot option in AutoCAD that lets you plot directly to a PDF. I tried that earlier but it didn't seem to want to load any of the data into MoI.

BUT, your import type field did give me an idea. Part of the adobe bundle that I have at work (I only use photoshop) is ILLUSTRATOR.

What DOES work for me (IM VERY VERY EXCITED) is to plot from AutoCAD -> PDF format then bring that PDF into illustrator and save that as an .AI file. Doing that brings
in all of the 2d lines that I need to work with. I hope this helps someone that may not have RHINO but happens to have the CS3 creative suite with illustrator.

Thanks again for your ideas and help!!!
