The DXF Import Settings dialog provides controls to configure import options for standard DXF files and then load them into the Draftsman drawing space.
Note that DWG (*.dwg) files also can be imported. See the Access section for information regarding importing DWG files.
Note that the DXF source graphic is interpreted using Draftsman’s standard graphical shape objects – lines, circles, rectangles, text – and each primitive object is therefore editable graphically and in the Draftsman Properties panel.
