Did you get any support on https://blender.chat/channel/support ? To me sounds like a scale issue and with the default blender "viewport clip start / end" you won't see the mesh.

Can you share the dxf file ?

Hi!
I didn't get any support yet.

This is probably a known limitation, not a bug. The offset of the items is way to high. Try moving them to 0 0 0 before scaling or doing any other operation. If you do not know how to, please ask on https://blender.chat/channel/support .

Did you only set the location and scaled the mesh?
I'm going to try that.
Tks a lot for your explanation and support, Jean.

FYI, there is a “Center” option in the import menu.
