Hi,

thanks

I see 3 layers :

Layer 0
Layer fase
Layer rastscheibe

Are this all ?

Edit: CAD program shows M3 and M5 thread but not SheetCAM

In the Drawing Options Dialog check the option ' use points for drilling '.

Then the missing layers appear.

you don't see a layer "aussen" or "kontur"? neither in sheetcam nor in your cad software?

I can see both layers in the layer list of the CAD but trying to show them fails so as if they would be empty.

All other layers I can activate or deactivate

I have this issue again and again. On another computer the import works without problems.

I am also missing the metric/imperial option in the scaling of the drawing import dialog - I think it is a problem of the dxf import plugin....? Am I missing any libraries....? PLEASE HELP....

Thanks
C.

Do you have the correct extension *.dxf selected in the file open dialog ?

Do you have unchecked from the menu :

Options -> Application Options -> Annoying dialogs : Import Drawing ?

This did the trick - great! Thanks a lot!
