.dxf file for PCB outline not showing
closed

I tried with 3 different .dxf file for my PCB outline, which does not contain any splines as per guideline. Still flux PCB editor did not show the proper shape. Instead it is showing a large triangle. Where as I cross checked the .dxf file in other apps, where it is working fine. Can anyone suggest me how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!

@collinsemasi Thanks for solving the issue. But I have a small confusion here, When I tried the same dxf file in other CAD softwares like Creo, Solidworks, fusion 360, etc. I couldn't find any open shape there. Even I extruded the shape there, which is not possible for any open shape.
Can you please specify which line caused the issue, so I will take care of it during my next project; is it the construction line used for mirroring or anything else?

Hi Asutosh
Thanks for sharing the file as requested. I checked it out and It appears the file has a line which could not be joined with the rest making for an open (disjointed) shape. I tweaked the file by deleting that line and mirroring the one on the left.
I have shared the file with you on email.
I'll close this ticket for now but let us know if you have any follow up questions.
Best regards

collinsemasi Thanks for the information, Before reporting the bug I have already gone through the documentation. And the dxf file doesn't contain any polylines and its completely closed. I have also shared the file at support@flux.ai.

Hi Asutosh
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. Note that our documentation suggests a DXF file must meet the following criteria:
- Only contain lines, splines, arcs, circles, and ellipses.
- Cannot contain any polylines.
- The shape must form a closed polygon.
If you have done this and still the DXF file is not working for the layout shape. Please share the DXF file with us at support@flux.ai and we'll take a look
Best regards
