again i am going crazy on dxf extrusions in openscad. i have two different dxf files which i'm trying to import, one of them (sekunden.dxf) works fine, the other one (neu.dxf) just does not show, and also there is no error. i tried converting things back and forth with inkscape, pstoedit and so on but to no avail. also reversed the path direction in inkscape but this also did not work. does anyone have an idea what's the difference between the two files ? any idea appreciated grtx https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,238904,238904#msg-238904 Wed, 22 Jul 2026 17:07:28 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,238904,239279#msg-239279 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,238904,239279#msg-239279 i didnt know you have to have closed paths...]]> 42loop General Sat, 24 Aug 2013 15:32:08 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,238904,239257#msg-239257 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,238904,239257#msg-239257 NormandC General Sat, 24 Aug 2013 14:29:33 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,238904,239253#msg-239253 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,238904,239253#msg-239253
I don't use OpenSCAD so I wouldn't know, but I opened neu.dxf in LibreCAD and FreeCAD without trouble. Although it cannot generate an extruded solid because the profile is not closed (see attached picture).

LibreCAD or any other CAD software would be more suited to edit DXF than Inkscape.]]> NormandC General Sat, 24 Aug 2013 14:21:03 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,238904,238904#msg-238904 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,238904,238904#msg-238904 i tried converting things back and forth with inkscape, pstoedit and so on but to no avail.
