    To help me understand what is happening, are you trying to import linework that defines the outline of a parking lot?

    Yessir, that is correct.  I have tried the IMX, AutoCAD DWG and the SHP option.

    The reason you are forced to specify what type of entity to configure the dwg as is because it needs to know what kind of style to apply.  To get a parking lot, just import the outlne as a dwg, config as a coverage area and apply some asphalt like style.  Without looking at your specific data, I cannot say why it isn't working for you.  I have done this hundreds of times and have no problem getting it to work, using the guidelines I mentioned earlier.  IMX is not meant to work for this scenario - it will only transfer surface, alignment/road, and pipe data.

    That is what I did for the parking lot, but I have the islands as you can see in the picture I attached in a previous reply.  Anyway, if you look at the picture you will see that I used the Pipes type and it actually looks kind of like a curb.
