To revert to the original discussion of how Illustrator handles drawing files...  

I'm a graphic designer for a window manufacturer and we often have to convert DXF or DWG files into Illustrator, then resize, change stroke colors & weights, etc. in order to use the drawings in printed catalogs. It would be GREAT if Illustrator would recognized the stroke weights/colors that had been specified in AutoCAD. Also, it would be a HUGE step forward if scaling could be maintained. 

I usually don't have a problem importing DXF files into Illustrator (I have version 9.0). Occasionally, I'll have one that won't import, however. And, purely by accident, I discovered that some of these that simply would not import through 9.0 WILL import into 8.0. (Very odd, I know.) I'm wondering if it would be advantageous to upgrade to 10.0.... has it improved in regards to importation of DXF files? 

Thanks!
