I have DS Pro+, albeit a very old version, and don't have anything labeled as "Combine Elements." Where did you see this? I'm still learning after using DS for a number of years. While looking for "Change Element" I discovered that I can add one design to another that I am working on without opening the new one by using the "Insert File" option. ...Nothing to do with what you're asking about, but a helpful tidbit. Juli, were you talking, in your first post, about converting an expanded object into wireframe elements? I have used this if I'm desperate, but it can turn one small piece into dozens of wireframe elements - which is what it sounds like happens when you try to convert your PES files into OFM files. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
