I have a problem importing a 3D DXF into SW It's been a long time since I've done it, and not at all since I've been on SW 2024. I have the impression that the dialog box is not the same anymore
Before, when we chose to import it as curves or models, the " Next " button allowed us to choose the units... There, the button is grayed out as soon as you choose curve or model, which makes me end up with a 3D model in inches to integrate into a mm environment. Not practical.!! The dxf comes from a software set in mm, I checked. Is there a setting to do in SW, I don't really know what to check in the SW import settings... Thank you for your help Kind regards
In general, if Solidworks refuses to import the file as a 3D curve, it is because it considers that the original file is not 3D or that there are more 2D entities than 3D (I think of a title block in the wrong workspace) Do you have the possibility to open the dxf directly in another software (such as autocad) to be able to modify it? At worst, try with Edrawing to get an idea of the state of the dxf.
I opened the DXF in Autocad and it is fine in mm It's SW that systematically puts it in inches, and there's no way to scale it up. Moreover, before SW converted the DXF3D to surface with sketches, all very clean, now they are only imported faces, there are dozens of them, just for a simple shape... In short, before it was simple... Frowning:
