Edit imported DXF

Should I be able to edit a DXF that I imported into a sketch using the new Import DXF button? I don't see any locks or links that would indicate that I can't edit it, yet the only thing I can do is delete lines.

Can you post a screen shot or upload the file. Yes you should be able to edit the sketch.

I just figured out what happened while trying to duplicate the problem to make a screenshot. The DXF I was importing was a 3D sketch (for no good reason). After flattening it in AutoCAD, I was able to import and edit.

 

I only noticed it this time because I was in the isometric view when importing and the lines didn't appear to match up correctly. Looking at it from the side, there was about 0.040" curvature to the sketch.

Hi Jason,

 

Currently the import dxf command could support importing 2d sketch well. And it doesn't support importing 3D sketch. As for the unit problem, did you set the unit for dxf file? Could you please share the dxf file to us to have a check.

 

Thanks for the feedback.
