Most CAD systems can export shapes, contours and part outlines in a file format called DXF. In many cases, part outlines or contour shapes are available in DXF format and it would be helpful to bring those shapes into the software. This is done in the Contour Mode of the Part Editor.
Once the DXF shape has been imported, if it is a closed contour it can be used to cut a pocket or through cut or a part can be made from the contour.
The DXF file is loaded using the Load Geometry icon at the upper left of the toolbar. When loaded, the origin or zero-zero point of the loaded file is placed at the lower left or zero-zero point of the part. The Move command can then be used to relocate the geometry if necessary.
Once loaded, the contour functions like any other contour that is developed in the Contour Mode.
