DXF Import for Solid Edge

DXF Import for Solid Edge is an AutoCAD DXF file import add-in for Solid Edge®. It gives Solid Edge the ability to import solid objects from AutoCAD DXF files as solids models in Solid Edge.
Solid Edge already has an AutoCAD DXF import feature. However, this import feature creates a 2D drawing in Solid Edge by reading 2d geometric objects such as curves and ignores 3d solids. DXF Import for Solid Edge removes this limitation by giving Solid Edge the ability to read 3d solid geometric data such as ACIS 3d solids, bodies and regions in an AutoCAD DXF file and create corresponding 3d solid models in an Solid Edge part or assembly document.
The 'DXF Import for Solid Edge' menu consists of the following commands:
# Import - Import meshes to a DXF file
# Help - Display the DXF Import for Solid Edge help file
# Register - Register your copy of DXF Import for Solid Edge
# About - Display the DXF Import for Solid Edge About box
DXF Import for Solid Edge comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.
The DXF File Format
The AutoCAD DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format) is a CAD data file format, developed by Autodesk as their solution for enabling data interoperability between AutoCAD and other programs. DXF was originally introduced in December 1982 as part of AutoCAD 1.0, and was intended to provide an exact representation of the data in the AutoCAD native file format, DWG (Drawing), for which Autodesk didn't (and doesn't) publish specifications.DXF is probably one of the most widely supported vector formats in the world today. DXF is rich in features, including: support for 3D objects, curves, text, associative dimensioning, etc. Although DXF was developed to represent the data used in a CAD program, it is used by many programs as a "least common denominator" format for the exchange of many different types of data, most commonly vector-oriented information
