> Hi All, If you ever encounter these issues, please feel free to contact us on our [support channel](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/requests/new), we are happy to find the possible causes. When importing DXF or DWG files, please remember the following: Only 2D content can be imported as DWG/DXF format There are some drafting elements that are not supported. These are hatches, annotations, planar faces, blocks, and points. Layers are also not supported, all sketch elements from the imported layers will be imported into one sketch group. Pa…

The most common problem is that the drawing is far away from the origin, unsupported elements can easily be filtered out.
