    Hi Grandpa,

    If you select the outer rectangle and look at the properties you will see that Closed is False (You can just make out a little gap at the bottom).

    If you change the Closed marker to True you should be good to go!

    (And a fine looking woman I might add! )

    Your drawing shows perfectly, why they invented nurbs.

    The only thing that I could find in the drawing was the polyline was not closed. After closing the begining and ending point of the polyline are still off by .005" when listed. But it worked.
