Importing dxf containing multiple sheets

Post by arthurjw » Thu Jan 28, 2021 2:39 pm

Hi,

I have a dxf file containing 2 sheets. If I try to input it I get the first sheet attached to the mouse pointer and I can position it with a left mouse click. It then changes to the second sheet attached to the mouse pointer but when I position that and left mouse click it displays the first sheet again. This continues until I right click which completes the command. Is there a way of importing the second sheet?

I am using QCADCAM 3.22 on Windows 10.

Please specify what exact command(s) you are using. Is this the File > Import menu? How about using File > Open?

For all support requests, please:
- Indicate the operating system you are using and the version thereof (e.g. Windows 10 32bit, Windows 8.1 64bit, Ubuntu 14.2 64bit, macOS 10.12, etc.)
- Indicate the exact version of QCAD you are using (see "Help" > "About" or "QCAD" > "About QCAD" or indicate the name of the file you have downloaded and installed)
- Attach original drawing files (DXF, DWG, ...) if appropriate
- Attach exported files (SVG, PNG, PDF, ...) if appropriate
- Include screenshots if appropriate
- If there is an error message, indicate the exact message or include a screenshot of the message
- If using a command line tool, indicate that exact command used
