Section Definition problem

Hi

 

Im trying to import a dxf file to define a section i require, however when i standardize the section and calculate the results, it stops with Area discretization. and does not complete the calculation of section properties. I have even left my computer turned on over night and still it keeps showing me Area discretization. 

 

I have attached the sections( dxf files) i want to use for my calcs. kindly help me out and help me resolve this issue asap cheers

 

regards

matt

Screen shot from your movie as far as I can see - "mm":

My mistake , sorry.
"cm" unit is always used writing to \ reading from *.sec file

Set Section Dimension unit = mm, then open dxf.
