Trying to import CAD drawings into flexisign for racecar templates to mask for wraps. Any idea what format to bring them in so that you can achieve this! Thanks,
Kurt

Okay - we were able to open the file, but when we went to mask, it only masked the arcs and not the straight images.
If the original designs were created in Autocad, you can open the file with Autocad and combine the line segments into a closed polyline with "0" line width. Then, export as DXF, import into Flexi, and most should come in grouped correctly. Some may require a few tweaks, but this is how I do it. Also, depending on what version of Flexi you are running, you may have to export the DXF file from Autocad as a Release 12 (lowest version you can export to). Also note that some spline segments exported as DXF don't play well with Flexi.
