Hi,
I'd like to know if it would be possible to add Ellipse support in DXF 
import function in pcbnew...

I tried to import a pcb board shape from a DWG file:
http://www.tekoenclosures.com/multimedia/manuali/dwg/MOK1.dwg
then I exported the DWG to DXF ASCII 2013 with TeighaFileConverter (as 
suggested by FreeCAD)
(TeighaFileConverter is free and available in win, Linux and OSX)
MOK1.dwg -> MOK1-ASCII-DXF-2013.dxf
I opened the file in Librecad and isolate the only pcb shape...
then I obtained the MOK1-ASCII-DXF-2013-PCB-only.dxf attached
Then I imported the shape in pcbnew and the curved parts of the shape 
were missing...
I opened the dxf in FreeCAD and I noticed that they are Ellipse entities...

referring to this post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/kicad-developers%40lists.launchpad.net/msg06714.html
only lines, arcs, circles and texts are imported ...
I think it would be a nice feature to add also Ellipse to the importer 
(this entity is quite common in shapes) ...
Obviously only if this could be compatible with the rest of the pcb 
structure

thank you
Maurice
