Hello, 

 

I have always used a dxf file to engrave jewelry. 

Now suddenly it doesn't load anymore in my program, i didn't change any settings in my illustrator.

If i try to load an older dxf file, there is no problem..

Anyone who can help please?

Hello @carolea71318985,

 

I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re experiencing with Illustrator. Could you please share more details to help us better understand the problem and explore potential solutions? Have you encountered the same issue in earlier versions, such as Illustrator v28.9, or any others? Additionally, could you confirm the version of AutoCAD used to save these files?

 

These details will help us identify the root cause and work towards an appropriate solution. Thank you for your patience as we address this matter.



Regards,

Hello @20426312_1331,

 

I understand how frustrating it must be to face issues with loading your DXF files, especially when this is something you’ve relied on for your jewelry engravings.

 

It looks like there were some improvements related to DXF/ DWG file handling addressed in Illustrator v29.1. Could you please update to this version and check if the issue persists? If you’re still facing the problem, could you share a DXF file that isn’t opening for you in v29.1? This will allow us to investigate further with the product team.

 

Thanks for your patience, and I look forward to helping resolve this!

 

Best,
