Hello,
I'm trying to import a DXF file into Diptrace. The shape has many smooth curved portions to it. However when the import conversion happens the curved lines become a series of straight edges to create a "curved" edge.
How can this be changed to import the DXF image as it is? Any tricks people have learned?
DXF import has hexagonal curves instead of rounded

The DXF format is somewhat "generic"not standardized - Many versions, sometimes not even readable in a S/W update from the original source.

Convert to Pad: Import the polygon into a custom pattern library, making sure to select the “Fill Closed Areas” option. Then, right-click on its perimeter and select “Convert to Pad” in the pop-up menu.
Use Compatible Software: Before importing to DipTrace, open the DXF file in a compatible vector graphics software like CorelDraw or Inkscape, clean up the design, and re-export it using a format that maintains curve integrity. Cheap Autodesk Advance Steel 2024.
Adjust Import Settings: When importing, DipTrace might offer settings that allow you to specify how curves should be handled. Look for options related to curve resolution or smoothing and adjust them accordingly.
