Command line: dxfin |
In the Select DXF File dialog box, enter the name of the file to convert.
Use DXFIN in an empty drawing to load a complete DXF file. To create an empty drawing, use the NEW command with the Start from Scratch option in the Create New Drawing dialog box. If you use DXF and the drawing is not new, AutoCAD issues the following error message:
DXFIN requires a new drawing. You can DXFIN the file into a new drawing, save the drawing, and use INSERT* to include the entities from that drawing into the current drawing.
If AutoCAD detects any errors while reading the DXF file, the command is terminated. If a partial DXF file is read, objects that refer to missing symbol tables are generated using standard definitions.
If you encounter problems loading a DXF file you've created, try increasing the precision. For more information, see DXFOUT.
To guard against importing corrupt data, you can have AutoCAD perform an automatic audit after importing DXF files into your drawing. The default is no automatic auditing. To turn on automatic auditing with DXFIN, select Audit After DXFIN or DXBIN on the General tab of PREFERENCES.
The audit only displays the errors AutoCAD finds; it does not correct them. To correct problems, use AUDIT or edit the DXF file manually.
