Any ideas whether this will be resolved any time soon? This is the first day I've downloaded Blender to try. Everything is very fresh to me.

Thanks for the help.

System Information
Windows 10, NVidia Geforce

Blender Version
2.1.3 or 2.79 (?) not sure where this info needs to be red from

Short description of error
Unable to import DXF file (AutoCad). Message:
The script exports Blender geometry to DXF format r12 Version

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open AutoCad 2016. Save file in *.dxf format (the 1st *.dxf option from a dropdown list).
Open Blender 2.79
Go to File>Import (in my case no .*dxf option)
Go to File>User Preferences
Tick box Import-Export: Export AutoCad DXF Format (.dxf)
Go to File>Import (in my case still no .*dxf option)
Go to File>User Preferences again
I see the box Import-Export: Export AutoCad DXF Format (.dxf) is marked and there is a triangle with exclamation mark popping up now.
It says under construction.

There should be 2 entries regarding DXF in addons (one is for exporting, one for importing). The one you chose was the exporter... could you try enabeling the importer?

If you still have trouble importing, please upload a .dxf file here so we can have a look...

Marking as incomplete for now...

The exporter has probably some missing features or limitations. That's why it is marked with a triangle. The icon shows up each time when there is a warning message present in the description and it is not related to the add-on not being registered/activated in this context.
