Hi all,

New here.  Strictly a beginner.  I have done some 2D stuff in Desault DraftSight but that is now payware.  I use Fusion360 for creating 3D objects for printing or use with a Shaper Origin (basically a hand held CNC router).  I purchased CAD plans for a project and have been unable to open them in LibreCAD.  I can view the file in DWG TrueView, but of course am not able to modify or export smaller DXF files of individual parts to import as sketches into Fushion360.  

When I try to open the DXF in LibreCAD I get an "Import error: error reading DXF/DWG sections".  In the command line box I get "Hatch failed due to a gap" errors.

The file I am trying to open is an AutoCAD DXF file that is 103MB.

Is this file too large to open in libreCAD?
What is the "gap" error about?

Any suggestions on how to access this file?

Thanks!
