Does anyone know how i can access polygon connectivity and verticies
from a general DXF file? I use OpenFX to convert a 3DS file to a DXF
file. However, when i read the resulting DXF file using IDL, there is
no DXF Entity type 10 (the 3D face), so i am having difficulty getting
verticies and connectivity. Typical returned Entity Type Nos. are 9,18
and 20, so how can i get connectivity and verticies from theses?
Many thanks,
Neil
