[mapguide-users] MapGuide Studio and DXF / DWG problems....

After posting here, I did think to go check the Autodesk groups and saw 
your post (with no solution). I don't see why they're be any 3D info in 
my dxf, but I'll give it another shot tomorrow and make sure it's 2D only.

As for the version, this has happened with all versions available from 
the Autodesk website. Currently I'm using the latest one with SP1......I 
should also note that I've got AutoCAD Land Desktop and Civil 3D 
installed on my PC.....conflicting dll's sounds to me like a pretty 
logical problem.....the only question is how to fix it!
