Hi all, I am testing the import of \* .dxf files together with the Concepts app with which you can export with the format dxf and svg. When importing the dxf file of concepts, the curves do not appear in Shapr3D as I show in the images. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/1/115e61f4968f35dafb2154995ca908a2c6158493.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/0/0b746863e897850ea5a37cd098f7bcc82087ce1f.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/1/14fa9097c7a668efd3dae7dbe2e1d185cd724f0f.jpeg) regards!!! ---

Thanks for the feedback. Can you please send the DXF file to [support@shapr3d.com](mailto:support@shapr3d.com)? ---

Hello Istvan\_CEO\_Shapr3D I tried to draw freehand square circles with round edges, ellipses by hand alcad and when exporting it appears this symbol in the layer d sketches. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/c/c8cf503234ce43ba8e690939909751fb3a822e6f.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/b/b4438483b364a32c70a39ade9f8a9c802fe18fc5.jpeg) ---

I’m curious if there was every a fix or if the issue was identified here. I was hoping to do lettering in concepts and export dxf to shapr. Im assuming the format in concepts is wrong. ---

Yeah, the texts from Concepts are exported as _text objects_ after some updates. As the text feature is not supported in Shapr3D, it will be recognized as an unsupported file type. If the text can be exported as a group of contour curves, they can be imported as dxf/dwg sketch elements.
