Rick,

Can you do that and if you can don't you have to convert it to a stl file?

You just click the folder icon, find the DXF file you want and load it.

I think the DXF must be 2D in the Part Editor.

OUCH!!! What are they doing...angioplasty? Are you having the other done later?

Good luck with it George. I got a feeling I will be going through physical therapy or cortisone shots for a while before any surgery. My new doc is supposed to be a lot less agressive when it comes to surgery, resorting to it only after everything else has failed. The last several days my back hasn't bothered me much at all so I don't mind the conservative treatment as long as it doesn't get back like it was.

I guess in a few weeks you and I can sit here and bore everyone with our moans and groans, eh? :beer:
