Hey Greg;
I do import/export all the time (in fact I am in the middle of a production one right now)

I as a rule always use parfiles, they are a lot easier and you will have a record of exactly what you did. In your case you may want to do a FULL export with ROWS=N, this way you will have all of the structures without the data. From there you can selectively import what you want, or import it all. Without the data it will be very small.

Another option is to use the "query" clause in your production export, this way you will not pull all the data. It is usuallly overkill to have that much data in development. Not always mind you.
