Hi,

I'm trying to import a simple dxf outline that is made from 4 arcs. The
figure was designed in freecad, and exported as dxf.

Importing that dxf in kicad didn't work, so I opened the dxf in librecad
and saved it as DXF R12, and the result was the same.

I know the dxf import is not fully supported, but I was wondering if I'm
doing something silly. I'm attaching the dxf and an image.

Should I try draftsight? or maybe give up and make it by hand?

This particular outline could be done by hand using the arcs coordinates,
but the test file is so simple I thought it could be helpful to debug the
issue.

Thanks
