Hi,
I want to import the attached dxf file into FreeCAD. I found that the circles got wrong position (seems their X value are opposite). I don't know why and I don't know how to fix it. They display well in AutoCAD.

Re: Problem with import dxf
The circles have a flipped normal (0,0,-1 instead of 0,0,1). They have been 3D mirrored.
Re: Problem with import dxf
Thank you for your reply. How can I deal with it so that FreeCAD can open this dxf file with the same effect as AutoCAD?
Re: Problem with import dxf
In AutoCAD 3D mirror them or create new circles.

Re: Problem with import dxf
the same trick seems to work here that wmayer recommends for problematic step imports: load in varicad viewer and save in varicad viewer. import the result into freecad. it worked with this file
Re: Problem with import dxf
Thank you for your replies. I developed a function module based on Free CAD that can convert the contours of a 3D model or 2D drawings into processing paths for a laser cutting machine. The drawings are provided by my users, who do not use other software and do not use CAD to do 3D mirroring, because their drawings are also provided by their customers. The way you mentioned using other software may not work. How can I achieve normal display as soon as I import it in Free CAD? I’m not sure if this is a bug.thomas-neemann wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 11:13 am
