Import DXF into Onshape

I am trying to import a dxf file into a part studio sketch, but when i click on the file (pp semester 2) nothing happens. I have a feeling this is an easy fix and i'm missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated.

    Make sure you zoom out. Sometimes it imports, but way off in space, so it's not obvious. If still nothing is coming in, I would click on the DXF file tab and see what that displays. If there's nothing there, it may be an issue with the DXF file or how it was exported from the source.

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately neither of those suggestions work. I've tried a few different dxf files and it's still not appearing in part studio sketch.

    can you post a screen shot of what the dxf is supposed to look like?

    Seems like a normal file to import. Can you post a link to your document or provide the dxf for someone to try?
