unable to extrude 2D DXF

Post by sherifeid »

Hi everybody, I'm trying to extrude a shape from a DXF file that I successfully imported, attached freecad file.
After DXF import I find about ~170 shapes, the problem it I can't join the shapes, I get the error message
"Unable to upgrade these objects."
take for example shapes 160, 161, 162, 163
anybody has any ideas?
thanks

Hi sherifeid, welcome to the FreeCAD forum. Did you check in Preferences->Import-Export->DXF the checkbox "JoinGeometry" before importing?

Tested this, but didn't work for me :(

So, i had to to it manually

- select all shapes and PartWB: [Part]->[Compound]->[make Compound]
- select Compound and DraftWB: [Draft]->[Draft to Sketch]
- select Sketch and SketcherWB: [Sketch]->[validate Sketch]->[Find missing coind.]
- followed by [Sketch]->[validate Sketch]->[Fix missing coind.]
- select Sketch and PartWB: [Part]->[Extrude]
