2D DXF plans

Support Basics & Interface

Hi,

Anybody else have a lot of problems importing 2D Dxf plans, exported from a cad program, into Blender?

Very often I have several lines etc missing and some objects seem to be thrown all over the place?

Anybody have any advice. Maybe there is something I can do to a DWG file before saving it as a blender-friendly-dxf?

Thanks in advance,

Regards
Fabrizio

I have had similar problems. I have found that if you save your CAD file as a Release 14 file and then convert to dxf it works a little better. There will still be some stuff missing and moved around, but not as much.

I have ACAD 2000 here at work and Blender does not like the dxf from that at all.

Hope that helps.

Have you already try to save in (dxf 12) format?
It’s the last of the list in autocad.

Thanks Bdgm and Madcello!

I had already tried both methods but neither worked well :o(

I’ll keep trying to find a solution! If anybody else succeeds before me… …please Share!! :slight_smile:

In the meantime, Thanks for the suggestions!
