There isnt one sorry.

You will just have to make the model in a model editor and then load it.

Got my disc doing what I wish, however how do you get the image that textures the object to be clear, its fuzzy at the moment.

Make Object Sphere 1,360
Scale Object Sphere 1,100,13,100

That'll give you a disc with the correct aspect ratio you requested.

Or if you want a more cylindrical disc, you can use Make Object Cylinder instead. If you want to have a closed-ended cylinder:
>Use Scale Limb obj,0,100,13,100 instead of Scale Object.
>Make a Sphere and flaten it out; Scale Object n,100,0.1,100.
>Make Mesh From Object using the circle and...
>Add Limb it onto the cylinder object
>Repeat to get the other end.
>Offset Limb the two end-limbs and...
Bam! You have a disc.

If you are texturing an object in DBPro, you have to load the image using an extra ",1" at the end of the Load Image command:
Load Image "mypic.bmp",1,1

make object cylinder 1, 100
scale object 1, 200,10,200

or go here, someone made an circular-like matrix.

i would just take a cylinder and then scale the dimensions to the size you want.

then use commands such as disable object zdepth and lock object on

I have know idea what sflm stands for
