Hello, I’m new to Shapr3d, still using the trail. I am trying to import DWG/DXF files, but when I choose import and browse to the file it is greyed out and will not let me import them. No errors or warning, I can’t even select a file. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong? I am trying to i…

Can you give us some bullet point rules regarding import and export of DXF files? What you just mentioned regarding origin would be a good start. I have had a problem exporting, so much so that I had to redraw in another program before sending it off to a a fabricator. I did a test drawing of a sim…

The circle and the square are on the same plane, so it would seem logical that if the circle is showing, so should the square. Further, if you rotate to another axis so the square is visible, then the circle should show only the edge. I still think something is broken.
