Can't use imported DFX or DWG files
Hi all
I'm trying to open a DFX or DWG file to work with, but once it is imported in GibbsCam, I can not select anything. Have you guys ran into this kind of problem? How did you fix it?
Thank you

Thank you for replaying.
I followed your advice and worked. I haven't realized that imported files can be spread out on multiple layers.
Me again...
Now that I have my geometry imported from a DFX file, how can I get rid of its pink color, and what this color means? When I draw in Gibbs, the geometry has blue color... but now, with this pink lines, I have trouble using machine selectors.
Thanks
Pink geometry means it is defined in another CS. Open the CS palette and click on the eyeball to activate the CS for the geometry you want to work with.
