Hi,
I've got a work around....
You could export sudrawing, then edit the file.
Change just this record where you remove Open and change t to nil:
_clp_dbid = _clpDBCreateOpenShape(_clp_path t "PACKAGE GEOMETRY/ASSEMBLY_TOP"
nil _clp_sym)
to
_clp_dbid = _clpDBCreateShape(_clp_path nil "PACKAGE GEOMETRY/ASSEMBLY_TOP"
nil _clp_sym)
Also - delete this line that follows the shape data
_clp_dbid = _clpDBCreateCloseShape(_clp_dbid)
That should help if you need to keep a complex shape geometry.
