Multiple Page DXF

I can open a certain DXF file in edrawings, and see the three tabs at the bottom for the 3 pages. When I goto import the DXF file into fusion, it only brings in the first page. Is there a option for splitting this up?

I don't believe that multi-page DXF files are supported at this time in Fusion 360. Have you looked at using AutoCAD 360? I'm not honestly sure how this file would behave, but it may be worth exploring as an option.

 

 

This would be a good suggestion to add to the Fusion 360 IdeaStation for future consideration. See link below:

Thanks,

I tried it in AutoCAD 360, but can't find any option to view other pages.

The multiple pages are Paperspace pages, Fusion only imports the Modelspace.

In fact, I'm not even sure DXF supports Paperspace pages, that's a DWG feature?

@Pedro_Bidarra, DXF supports paperspace pages similar as DWG file format. There is no much differences when use DXF/DWG in AutoCAD, both of them support 2d & 3d contetns, with Model and multi Layout/paper spaces.

@AmishSolanki, current Fusion only import contents inside Model space, won't import contents from layout/paper spaces. One workaround is to "Export layout space to Model" in AutoCAD as below images shown, export the layout/paper space to Model (as a new dwg/dxf) file. Does this work for you?
