I am having an issue with importing a dxf file. The drawing is imported and displayed but the layers are not. I am using GetLayers to add the layer names to a combo box. This works on my development computer but does not on any other computer. GetLayers does return a value of 256 but the all the layer names = “”. What am I doing wrong? I have included all the file required stated in the readme.rtf

Is this happening for all the DXF files or for someone? Can you please send me the DXF file by e-mail?

It happens with all dxf files I have tested with. Some created by me and with other cad packages.
You have mail.

Can you make a small test project with the following code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim sLayers() As String, iLayStatus() As Integer
    Dim lMax As Long, lCnt As Long
    Call cAvax1.StartAvax
    Call cAvax1.Add_DXF(App.Path & "\Cpart_1_LeftSide.dxf", "", 0, 0, 0)
    lMax = cAvax1.GetLayers(sLayers(), iLayStatus())
    Combo1.Clear
    For lCnt = 1 To lMax
        Combo1.AddItem Format$(lCnt - 1) & " : " & sLayers(lCnt - 1)
    Next lCnt
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    Call cAvax1.EndAvax
End Sub

I don't think that it is an installation problem or a problem of the dxf files.

The code above is how I am trying to add the layers but I have a check to make sure the layer is there as in below example. I will Try your code above and email you the code I am using

For lCnt = 1 To lMax
     If sLayers(lCnt - 1) > "" Then
          Combo1.AddItem Format$(lCnt - 1) & " : " & sLayers(lCnt - 1)
     End If
Next lCnt

I ran your above example and the issue is still there. I think the problem is in the installation. I have emailed you explaining what files I am installing. Will you look at it and see what I might be doing wrong?

You have e-mail. I believe I found the solution.

Yes, once I change the way the files are installed it works.
Thank you for the quick help.
