Firstly, Easy-PC doesn't handle complex curves, so if a graphic has any ellipses or Bezier curves (splines), these will need to be converted before import to 'polylines' or they'll just be ignored.. Secondly, you can scale during import, but not once it's imported, so you might need to go round the loop until it's the right size. Thirdly, and less importantly, if you want to fill a loop, it needs to be a closed shape. Unfortunately, the way DXF is constructed, it's very common for an apparently closed loop to be constructed from several independent sections. Following import, as long as two adjacent sections use the same style, you can select both (<Shift+Ctrl+click>) and use the 'Join Shapes' function on the right click menu. The proximity for this to work can be adjusted under [Settings], [Preferences]. Once all the bits are joined, you can force it closed using the shape properties so you can fill it.
