Why does a DXF import as dashed lines in CLO3D?

When a DXF imports into CLO3D as dashed rather than continuous pattern lines, it can indicate that CLO3D is interpreting part of the imported file differently from the intended pattern geometry. Before rebuilding the pattern, check the DXF import settings and how the original file has been exported.

In this quick tutorial, I show the first thing I check when a DXF does not appear as expected, helping you identify whether the issue sits with the pattern itself or the way the file has been interpreted during import.

This short is useful for:

• CLO3D beginners

• Digital pattern cutters

• Fashion designers working with DXF files

• Anyone troubleshooting DXF imports in CLO3D
