Hello all,

 

i've got a problem with flux and the import of some dxf files (created with solidworks). Sometimes the ok button for the import confirmation seems 'inactive' and couldn't be pressed after i selected the desired file.

The file names don't contain any space or backslash..

 

Thanks for your help!

    Hello,

    Can you counter check there is no 'strange' character in the name ? I believe the - sign is not allowed for instance. It is better if the name is short (and also the length of the path since the root part C,D,E,..., as there is a maximum length).

    I hope it will help.

    hi lombard,

    thanks for your fast aswer!

    Obviously it has to do with data content by itself, because neither a short name without any strange characters nor a short path solved the problem.

    In addition, a few other files in the same folder can be imported trouble-free.

    Do you have another guess?
