cannot select circular face

I inserted a DXF created in Adobe Illustrator 24 into a new design in Fusion 360, the DXF has 3 circles. Then I extruded it, and 3 holes are visible.

Now I want to want to Bore those holes, but in the Geometry tab, I can not select a circular face. Screenshot attached. 

Thanks for any thoughts.miniAdapter-FPonly-can NOT doCircularFaceSel.jpg

Can you File>Export and then Attach your *.f3d file here?

Are you sure those are cylinders and not faceted planar faces?

Why not model from scratch in Fusion?

I've attached the requested Fusion 360 file.

I design in Illustrator because my CNC fabricator needs Illustrator files, I use Fusion 360 to create prototypes.

And any way to be able to export out of illustrator so that it does recognize the holes, or export without splines?

I have no idea, not used it.

If you have circles in Illustrator, and sending splines to Fusion, then probably not.

 

Might help....

This old thread came up in my notifications recently, has a workaround. See you found it already. Guess you should raise it with Adobe as it's their problem.
