Need help with importing AutoCAD DXF files....

[ACDmvmkr]

I'm trying to import some old AutoCAD drawings into Blender 249b using the DXF importer. But I keep getting the following error......



I'm not sure if this is the "console", but this is what it says, and I don't know what it means....



Help?

info-
Blender vers 249b
AutoCAD release 11  DXF files

thx, Dave

Try using AutoDesks or SolidWorks AutoCAD viewers. I can't remember off the top of my head but you might be able to re-export those old cad files using those two apps (which should still be free); Blender has a notoriously difficult time with 'proper' autocad files, I think there's something in them which cause a read/write problem.
