Upon exporting files from Illustrator I get this when I import them to Shap3r.

Upon opening the same file in illustrator it looks perfect.

The attached files are PNG and not DXF files so I was not able to try it out.

That is an STL file and not a DXF file 🙂 Just for fun I went ahead and imported it into Shapr3D and that seemed fine. Except since it was from a triangle-based file you see all the residual triangles…

Here is the resulting project file.

But your query was about importing DXF and not STL.

Hello @Esseti, sorry to see that you have troubles. It is a known issue that will be solved in the next release of Shapr3D

Ok thank you, for now I’ll just manually fix some small issues.
