Anyone see this before in a DXF pattern file?
I have reached out to my factory, but I thought I'd try this forum too, in case someone has seen this before.
The attached screen shot of the 2D pattern is the bra portion of the Cami in the photos (above the smocking). There are a lot of internal lines that I want to get rid of because they are unnecessary)...which I don't know how to do. But the bigger issue is the outline of the pattern piece as a rectangle and not the actual pattern shape. I can go in and manipulate the pattern to match up, but is there a bigger thing going on? TIA!

The DXF format is not being correctly imported into CLO or is not being correctly exported from whatever CAD software they are making the patterns with.
1. Try and solve the DXF issue first. Maybe use some other CAD software to check if the CAD are working fine. You can use to test something like QCAD (qcad.org) or PAD System (share.padsystem.com).
2. If everything else fails, you can trace the purple lines (called baselines) using the Trace Tool (shortcut I) and selecting the lines you want to convert to a pattern. When you are done selecting a pattern you can right click and select Trace as a Pattern.

pablo.quintana I just downloaded a trail of QCAD and the pattern looks OK, no rectangle pattern outline, although lots of ancillary markings. But when I imported it again, thru QCAD, was the same issue as before. Is this a CLO issue, or the pattern file issue? THanks for the info on the Trace Tool. Will go that route for now.
You are making my day with your help :)

pablo.quintana My pattern imported with the same issue and I was able to use the trace tool as you suggested to create a pattern piece from the baselines. Thank you so much for the tip!
