dxf import no layers
Posted: Sun Aug 02, 2020 5:19 am
Good morning Les.
I am being sent dxf files from a marine engineer, basically cut out files for the boat that we are to build. Now he has put different layers on the drawings to indicate lineup marks, bend lines, weld positioning, then the inside and outside contours. My problem is that when I import the drawings I have only one layer, which if this was a simple drawing I would just move the contours to separate layers and it's done. This is quite different, I don't have the confidence the be able to move 'all' the correct and relevent lines to their appropriate layer, without stuffing something up. Is there anything that can do, or should do to correct this. Is there an appropriate version of software that I should be using. My licence number is VJLSL9P6 and I have had this for 6 years new from Tom. Just a note I have had others send me dxf's with layers and they have come through. I will attempt to send you a file and could you let me know if it works for you
