Hi Steve,
glad you found it useful, at the time I was 'playing' ViaCad didn't have all the import export features (which have come down from Shark).
Shark itself is fantastic, but way more than I need, so I may give VC a go myself.
I found the forum and developer to be really open to questions, so ask about SU V8 importer, he may have a Beta kicking around, also I think there would be a log, you could ask how to expose it...
good luck
john
