Hi, I am a running a student license of autocad for MAC (but I don't think that should matter) and I had my kid, who has a windows machine, convert some shp files to dxf for me in QGIS and now when I try to use them in autocad they do not seem to exist. I have tried all the described methods to open them correctly. FWIW they seem very small, so I am not sure if they are actually truly converted. And actually just now when I tried to attach one it wouldn't post. Hmmm. Can anyone help? Could anyone convert the shapefiles for me? TYSM

Hi @ehardy24 ,

 

Try to compress your DXF and / or SHP files before attaching them.
