Actually I have no clue at all how blender works. Still I have to try to work with it for a project at work. But I can't get started at all.

I have four 3D4 models (of hole saws) made in CAD and got .DWG files delivered. As my research shows it's only possible to import .DXF to blender. I managed to made the import option available and used ODA File Converter to convert .DWG > . DXF

Now I'm stuck trying to import the .DXF File in Blender. I chose a file and want to import, but nothing happens at all, not even an error message.

I tried google and everything. Also tried to Convert DWG > DXF > FSB > OBJ but with the convert to FSB the file is only 10 KB from originally 2 MB.

So my question is, is it normal that nothing happens with the import? Do I need to convert it to a specific type of DXF? Is it even possible to import a 3D DXF file? Every tutorial I found seemed to be more like a 2D floor plan.

You should select right version. I also had this issue, then I changed the dxf version and it worked.

The following picture tells the right version.
