@IDIMITRIOUD883D Is this specific to only this one iges file or ANY files that you have? Also, would it be possible to share this file here?

When i tried to upload it here, i received the msg "The file type (.igs) is not supported" see below. So i send it as a .txt file.

Thank you

I downloaded your RAR file, expanded it and opened it in Autodesk Inventor. The file opens just fine in Fusion 360 as well. The problem I see is the file is empty, there is nothing in it.

Fusion 360 cannot do anything with wireframe geometry (curves). It only imports 3D geometry (surfaces or solids).

That's likely the reason why DXF seems to work, yet when @jhackney1972 can open the .igs file, it is empty in Fusion 360.

This type of file with the same data was working in earlier versions. I mean iges file is iges file and the code for line is still the same (110). Also coordinates are (x,y,z) . Perhaps files like this are not permitted any more?

Thank you.
