Using CAD files (DXF and STL)

Using CAD files (DXF and STL)

I have been trying unsuccessfully to import in a DXF file via the animation tab on the body shape element.

I am using the following path in the shapetype dialogue box on the animation tab for the bodyshape element:

"modelica://Modelica/Resources/Data/Shapes/RobotB3/b1.dxf"

If I use the example DXF files found in the RobotR3 folder then I have no issue. But if I save a new DXF file into the very same folder and try and call it then it will not be recognised.

I have tried exporting a simple DXF file from; Solidworks, Inventor, AutoCAD, Alias and 3ds Max. None of these approaches have worked so I am led to believe that I am missing something obvious...

Could anybody please let me know their workflow for successfully importing CAD data?

Many thanks - Andy
