DXF Import for Alibre Design is an AutoCAD DXF file import add-on for Alibre Design®. It gives Alibre Design the ability to import solid objects from AutoCAD DXF files as solids models in Alibre Design.
Alibre Design already has an AutoCAD DXF import feature. However, this import feature creates a 2D drawing in Alibre Design by reading 2d geometric objects such as curves and ignores 3d solids. DXF Import for Alibre Design removes this limitation by giving Alibre Design the ability to read 3d solid geometric data such as ACIS 3d solids, bodies and regions in an AutoCAD DXF file and create corresponding 3d solid models in an Alibre Design part document.
