Import DXF fill issue

shai_perednik

I'm trying to import a DFX of a logo that I saved out of inkscape as a DXF.  I then want to remove this shape from the part under it.  However, as you see in the image below, the dxf imports as the outside paths only, therefore, its only the outline that I can extrude/remove.  This is not what I want as I want the fill to be used for the extrude/remove.  

Am I importing the DXF wrong, or do I need to do something else here?  Thank you!

have had the same problem once with an imported dxf. the reason was that not all endpoints matched to the next - so no closed loop @jackson_king
 alread mentioned. selecting the endpoints and made them coincident fixed it in my case

is your DXF import a closed loop?  Have you tried making the DXF into a solid and then a boolean to subtract it from the knob?  OS should recognize the imported DXF as an extrudable region if it is closed?

I don't think it's a closed loop, and that's probably the issue.  I'll try the coincident suggestion.  How would I make the DXF into a solid in the first place if it's open?
