After reading the dxf file into my object IDLffDXF->GetContents tells
me that I have 3 blocks, 9 inserts, and 6 layers. The layers appear to
have the correct names. The blocks appear to be generic/default
AutoCAD 'things'. I have no idea what the Inserts are all about. They
are all the same except for the .color field. There are no other
Entities present and nothing that would represent my model (types
1-17). The dxf file is good in that AutoCAD generates the proper model
from the file. So, I really cannot track down what is going wrong
beyond what I've just told you.
