Why are items not importing in the correct position from dxf to cadence

I have a dxf file which has a number of copper pline arcs.

When i import them, the arcs move position?? Why does this happen?

    Can you share the dxf file so we can look into the issue?

    Check the co-ordinates of the DXF v the PCB layout. the origin (0,0) nneds to match otherwise you could see what you are seeing. I'd also check the units and accuracy (decimal places) to make sure they match.
