Hi Folks, DXF Import seems to be popular enough that we have the occasional questions and complaints about how to use it for a specific task. The items I can think of include:
1. being able to process Layers and associate a named DXF Layer with a specific KiCad Layer. 2. "I can't import Feature X". This one comes up now and then; the most popular is "why doesn't kicad support DXF filled regions?" More recently someone was asking about importing a DXF Point (what that would represent in KiCad is anyone's guess). In the past I put a little work into a few minor fixes and adding PolyLine support for outlines, but I haven't done anything more since there seems to be no long-term plan for DXF. Does anyone think some effort should go into a grand plan for how DXF can interact with KiCad, especially on the Import side? If it is a useful enough tool and we can come up with a sensible scheme which general users would find useful I can put in a little time to code it. - Cirilo
