how to fix issue when importing DXF

hgvghvgh

my question is how to fix the issue when importing DXF using cadence 17.2 . the DXF is ok for cadence 16.5.   the issue is logged as following: 

Reading Layer Conversion File 

Reading DXF file...
ERROR: 3D data has been found in this dxf file.
  Most 3D data is not supported by dxf2a.
  For the special case of DXF code 230 = -1.0, ARC, CIRCLE 
  and SOLID entities will be mirrored about the Y axis.

    What program are you using to generate the DXF?

  • UlfK

    You have two options:

    1. Go to the mech guy and sit next to him and make him open his newly created DXF that contains the 3D data

    and make him remove the 3D "layers" or "elevations". Then make sure that the contour is "healed" so that there are no

    open ends and that the contour is a closed polyline.

    2. Install AutoCAD or Get a free DXF-editor (there are some that can be found on the net) and open the .DXF, then if the software

    can rotate the 3D .DXF, do this and manually remove all "vertical" segments and underlaying elements.

    It may also be necessary to check for multiple lines in same coordinates.

    If using AutoCAD: Do PURGE unused blocks and when using PEDIT, it is possible to heal broken geometries.

    Also, edit the .DXF and limit the size of the .DXF so that the data extent is only the geometry itself (Drawing|Limits)

    thank you very much. option 1 fixed the problem. there are many open ends there. after delete the non-usable line  it's ok.
