    Try saving it as a version 12 or older .dxf

    Kung,

    I'm working on fixing up the DXF importer in NCPlot as we speak. However, I looked at your file and noticed that it's really a drawing of a 3d solid. NCPlot only really likes 2D drawings, so if you could, try to simplify the drawing as much as possible and save it as a v12 DXF.

    Regards,
    Scott
