This seems to be an ongoing problem. I read posts from 2019 with the same issue. When I upload a dxf with any kind of detail it takes forever to import. Slows everything down when I try to move it or scale it. Is there a better way to get detailed dxfs to work?

Can you share one of this kind of DXFs?
