DXF polyline - can view in doc but not import to sketch

apearce

I import my DXF. I start a new doc, sketch and then import that DXF... but after import I don't see anything in the part studio...? Just to clarify: https://youtu.be/nb0IYGgDZtk The DXF is a polyline. I couldn't get spline to import and be viewable - is that related? Example DXF: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/11c136ba88335f099a0c875c/w/5764891740a29c78f59af50b/e/a9e910c6bd2b1cdc5e02f61b hmm... I see a tag for import DXF wireframe... I might have that option too to investigate as well

Baffling that I can see the dxf in the preview of the doc in the Android mobile app but not on the desktop: http://i.imgur.com/hdJjDup.png Sounding more like a bug than my stupidity which I suspected

Works for me - I notice in the video that you deleted the dxf tab and kept the converted drawing? It's the dxf tab that it's trying to read. Re-import it, create a version (critical if you are using linked documents) and see if that works for you.

(edit) actually in this instance there is no need to use linked docs, you could just import the dxf file into your current document, then import it into the sketch, then you can delete the dxf tab afterwards.

This is what I am getting when I used the document you shared. When I zoom in I see that this is a bunch of tightly packed points connected together.

In the video you shared I did see the dxf import at the origin at 0:53, but it was extremely small. If you still have the document, zoom in on the origin and you should see it. I'm not sure why yours is so small on initially bringing it in unless the document is scaled differently. Here is the copy of that I worked on: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/57867241e4b025bbcebe4aa9/w/d74b911d0def18f6f1d36e02/e/f38cf7ef8eb0e3abd796e1f6
