• A dot is represented by a shape of 3 mm X 3 mm (0.12 in X 0.12 in).
• To display a hatching as a filled shape, set “SOLID” with the CAD application.
• The linear shape or two-dimensional shape data other than the above are displayed according to the actual settings of
the lines.
• OLE objects, image data, and three-dimensional data cannot be imported.
• The format (such as A4) must be specified in the DXF files beforehand.
• To display a shape converted to an outline by Illustrator as a filled shape, check the [Fill in entire block] box and set the
polyline setting to [Show as a line].
(4) The DXF object will be displayed on the design window.
Additional information about editing the design window:

• The drawing data will be converted to one object.
• The letter data will be converted to a text box.
• Drawing data from versions “R12” and “R13” can be imported. However, the conversion accuracy is not guaranteed to
be 100%.
• The objects (including the grouped objects) imported from DXF files cannot be registered as cliparts.
• If tape roll settings are set to [Cutting Mode], this function will be disabled.

object cannot be restored, please be careful when using this setting.
