DXF Import Feature
The DXF import feature allows information in a Drawing Exchange
Format (.DXF extension) to be used to create a CNC program in CAM
Mode.
Shapes can be created from the geometry in the DXF file using a
mouse and "point and touch" approach.
DXF Entities Supported
Entities supported for Drawing, Transformation, and Information are
Line, Point, Circle, Arc, and Vertex.
Entities supported for Chaining are Line, Circle, and Arc.
DXF Entities Not Supported

Face3D, Extrusion, Dimension, and Viewpoint entities are not
