    Can I ask why there is no support for importing DXF?  It would save a ton of headaches!  Thanks

    On my Design Spark  Mechanical V4.0 are available for file  saving  only formats: rsdoc, png, dxf, xaml, jpeg. It is not matching with description above.  Let me know please- mentioned formats (especialy obj) are available for free version or only for commercial? If it is available olso for free - how I can activate missing 5 formats on my computer?

    Thanks

    If you are missing certain file formats from the list and have v4 or above of the software, the 'Translators' program may not have been installed.

    Check the downloaded installer package for your DSM version and the highlighted sub-folder:

    Run the setup.exe or Translators.msi inside it. Complete the installation and you have should have those missing file formats back.
