      Has anybody noticed how slow DXF import is in the new version?
      The attachment imports in less than a second in V6 and takes up to 20 seconds in V7.
      What gives?! πŸ‘Ž

      Sample DXF

        The funny thing is that the import time improves when I enable Sketchup communications in my firewall?! Now I am really confused...

          Was pretty much instantaneous for me, so im guessing its your firewall doing something funny.

                    I don't see how a firewall should interfere with an file import. Unless,... can DXF files contain XRefs?

                      Dxf files are ascii (simple text) descriptions of the entities in a file. A dxf contains information about xrefs, but in itself can not contain a xref.

                      It is my understanding that if the file being imported is on another machine within a network, in theory, a firewall could affect the file transfer. If this is the case, ask your network administrator to make sure that dxf files are an exception.
