[/quote]Pop-down the list of file-types in the bottom pane of the main 3d-export dialog, select DXF as the type and then select Options to refine what you export... then 'OK'... [/quote] Sorry for the mis understanding ,I have exported all of the above from the drop down menu, but for some reason Corel is being touch sensitive and will not open these files from the 3D export option, only from 2d export!! So I am wondering if the problem is when importing in my Older CorelDraw version 8.... Hope I dont sound completely idiotic but I do have some knowledge in the use of these programs here is a link I found of someone with a similar issue with broken line segments http://coreldraw.com/forums/t/18356.aspx maybe my problem is on the import of the file from Corel! The communication between programs Im guessing!! Thanks TIG! John
