Import a .DXF file in Orcad layout

Hi,

I work with Orcad Layout 16.0.

I have a very big .DXF file (236 MB). I would like to import it and to convert it in a .MAX file.

As the file is too big, it is impossible to convert it, the program crashes.

Do you know a solution ?

Best regards.

    So, I think I can't rebuild a .MAX file with my big .DXF file. I have also all Gerber files (BOTTOM.art, TOP.art, ....). Does a solution exist to rebuild a .MAX with these files ? Regards.
