Importing DXF into xDesign to Create a 3D Model

I am using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, version 3D Dashboard 2.7.7 (2024), and I would like to import a DXF file into xDesign in order to create a 3D model from it (e.g. via extrusion).

Unfortunately, I cannot find an import or insert function for DXF files within xDesign. Even in the sketch environment, I do not see any DXF import option.

  • What are the exact steps to import a 2D DXF file into xDesign as a sketch?

  • Is a specific role required (e.g. Mechanical Designer or Drafting)?

  • Are there other apps within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform that are better suited to convert DXF files into 3D geometry?

I would appreciate any guidance or documentation you can provide.

Best regards,
