Importing DXF files

Hi there!

I can import the DFX file into a sketch but when I finish the sketch I can't extrude the profile... I can only select all the lines that make up the profile. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Walter

Most likely you have an Open Profile, while you are still in the active sketch, RMB on the model screen window and select "Sketch Doctor". Let it run through and diagnose the sketch for open profiles. Most likely you will have a number of them depending on how well the CAD model was done.

Just insert the picture rather than attaching it as a file

Did you have the Import Option set to Constrain Endpoints?

No I didn't change any of the options. Sketch doctor fixes the problem. I just have to click yes about 100 times as it combines all the points, but it works!
