Hi,
I'm using Windows 11 and I just reinstalled Therm 7.8.80, but when I try to open a file created in Freecad or Librecad it gives me an error of which I attach the screenshot. The file was saved as dxf by Freecad and as dxf R12 by Librecad. I even installed files
VC_redist.x86.exe 
w_dpcpp_cpp_runtime_p_2023.2.0.49500.exe
after uninstalling the previous version of Therm.
The Filename does not have any period except for the one before dxf. 
Where am I going wrong? 
Thank you
Luca Bulfone

Can you provide the DXF file you are trying to import into THERM?

Grazie per avermi risposto .
in allegato un file che non riesco ad aprire in Therm, ma che riesco ad aprire ad es. in Autodesk DVGTrueView.

I am thinking maybe you didn't import the file as an underlay, using the File / Underlay menu option.

When I do that, the underlay is imported without issue.

Although it doesn't appear to autoconvert, which would create polygons. However, you can trace the underlay to create your model.

Ensure you are using closed polylines if you want the file to auto-convert, and save to the oldest DXF file-type for best results.

Thank you all. 
Everything's fine now, even auto convert. 
I was doing File/Import instead of File/Underlay.
