    Creating a 3d model from imported dxf file

    Hello,

    i'm trying to create a 3d model from a dxf file in Spaceclaim.

    I have used Solidworks until now.There you can go with edges and curves.

    Pleas can someone explain how it's working in spaceclaim the fastes way ? Maybe in a video tutorial ?

    The part i'm trying to create is here

    This is a really old question, but since nobody replied in two months, here goes:

    Don't import DXF files. Use STEP files, they will import as a solid without issue. DXF has problems going between programs, from what I am told by software engineers.

    Tacdriver,

    If all you have is a DXF file Spaceclaim will import it, and you can build a solid.

    See attached video link:
