Is there a way to create a die from a dxf file with several different die pad sizes? Please help, thanks in advance.

    You can use the Add -> Standard Die -> Compose Die from Geometry command. After you import the DXF data as geometry elements into the database (usually on substrate geometry or manufacturing layers), use that command and tell it which of the import layers has your pin shapes, which the die outline, the net/pin names, etc. It will then create the die component and symbol for you. It'll create different padstacks for the different sized pads and let you specify a pin numbering pattern to assign, etc. Should be what you need, I think.
