Can not open DXF.

scastrophotography — Mon, 13 May 2024 08:14:22 GMT

Hello,

I am having trouble opening a DXF file. I have used the data panel to upload it and it is now visible in the folder in the data panel. But when I go to open it, fusion tries for 20 min so far and nothing has happened. If i try cancel it, fusion will go to not responding. I dont know what is going on. Is the file to large? its 800kb in size, could i try a DWG. file instead which is only a fraction of the DXF file size? I rather not share the file publicly, so If someone would take a look, I could sent it to you.

I did manage to open the DXF in question, in pretty quick time using the Autodesk Viewer online.

Kind regards

Joshua

Thanks for that, That is what I see, but it will not open. Can I send it to you in a Private message? I dont really want it to go on a public forum.
