Simple question re opening a drawing

Support Basics & Interface

Good morning all!
I can hear them sniggering from up the back already!

Anyhow… When opening a DXF in Blender, I am presented with a blank workspace. Is there anything that I need to do to “place” the drawing in the workspace, or should it be there when I open it?

I’m a little confused, and VERY new to Blender :slight_smile:

Thanks all,

Hi DJ,

I’ve often found when opening DXF files in blender the scaling and placement gets all out of whack…

What I usually do to find the object is select all layers, then Zoom out as far as you can go…

hope this helps.

Excellent, thank you!

Now I just need to figure out how to use the rest of blender… :Z
