AutoCAD DXF to Maya 2003-11-20 - By Grifter65@(protected)

In my experience, it also helps (and in fact maybe a neccesity) to have the
AutoCAD model created using "faces", and not just "lines" in AutoCAD....before
exporting or importing into Maya...otherwise you have polylines only..as you
described.
hope that helps as well...
