I have import("D:quadAlf.dxf"); as the single line in my openscad and even though F5 & F6 appear successful I cannot get the file to display so that I may alter it. Running on Windows 10 openscad version 2021.01 and have also tried it on Linux Debian Bullseye also version 2021.01 . I attach a copy of the dxf in case it is the problem. Help please. -- Regards, Alf Stockton

I can't see any problems with it. It displays OK for me.

Looking at https://openscad.org/downloads.html I cannot see a version later than what I have.

Make sure your file path is correct. I always try to save my .scad file and what i'm importing in the same directory and having my filename be "filename.dxf" or, i'm guessing yours is "quadAlf.dxf". Thus Alf C Stockton hast written on Sun, Apr 03, 2022 at 01:00:45PM +0200, and, according to prophecy, it shall come to pass that: > I have import("D:quadAlf.dxf"); as the single line in my openscad and even > though F5 & F6 appear successful I cannot get the file to display so that > I may alter it. > Running on Windows 10 openscad version 2021.01 and have also tried it on > Linux Debian Bullseye also version 2021.01 . > I attach a copy of the dxf in case it is the problem. > Help please. > > > > > -- > Regards, > Alf Stockton > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > OpenSCAD mailing list > To unsubscribe send an email to discuss-leave@lists.openscad.org

I'm running 2021.01 (git 41f58fe) on Ubuntu MATE, and it previews and renders properly without errors or warnings.

If I export a shape as an  svg, and import it again, the svg is translated to a different position. Any idea on the values of x y to be used to move it back to the correct position?  I suspect it is connected with svg origin being at top left, but what is the y offset value? (and why?) #square (50); // export as svg import("C:/Users/Ray/Desktop/svg/square.svg"); #circle(40); // export as svg import("C:/Users/Ray/Desktop/svg/circle.svg");
