Robot keeps crashing when I attempt to import the DXF file with section shape

[Anonymous]

For some reason, Robot keeps crashing when I attempt to import the DXF file. Is there a certain file size limit that it can take? I wouldn't say it's the most complex of shapes but not simple either.

I have simplified the section, but now when I import the file, there is no geometry shown in Robot.

This is the section in question

Hi @Anonymous

I'm not able to open this dxf in AutoCAD. How did you create it? Do you have its dwg version?

[Anonymous]

Not sure what happened. 

Here's the file again, and the DWG as well.

Hi @Anonymous

The audited dwg and dxf files.

Could you please let me know what you've done?

Also is there a file size limit? I have a file that seems to be too big. The dxf file is 1500 kb

I notice also that you've created quite small file sizes. How have you reduced your DWG to just 41kb?

Hi @Anonymous

You can clean up your DWG files in 3 steps:

1. PURGE command (use the "Purge all" option

2. AUDIT command

3. -PURGE commmand - this one gives you prompts in the command line, please type "R" for "Regapps" and purge those - in the last DWG there were quite a few registered applications, which may cause problems as they acumulate with time

Hope that helps!
