When converting models to dxf format with dat2dxf, you end up with a
tremendous number of polygons in the converted model.  This means that any
program used to view the file has *tons* of work to do.  Anyone know of way

does so much when you've got 300,000 polygons (as was the case with my
Kodiak when I tried this).

Thanks,
Ben
