Please help. I cant open this dxf file. please

[The One]

your friend will need to export the file as simple entities. Version 19 does not support the Spline entity type, so that data is just omitted from the displayed part.

In AutoCAD and Rhino the command that is used is Explode. It converts the spline to Lines and Arcs.

I don't use Adobe, so I can not tell you specifically what command to use.

Yea, too many times. I just learned to use the methods in the previous posts by RLC

RLC recommends .CAD extension (#8) but this doesn't work for me.
I need .DGN extension to open BobCAD and the file from the file.

What's up Buddy. I have no idea why BCC does this but I've learned to open BCC then the File. I get the same results you do using the same method.

Open BCC first then click Remove File > OK
Then Cancel when it asks for Drawing and Templates.

Go to File Open and select the folder Open and select the file you want to open.
BCC does the rest.

Thanks...that's how I do open files.
Just find the other a little frustrating. Was hoping there was a simple fix.
