Hello

How I can open dxf files like a 3dm files?

File3dm model = File3dm.Read(path);

Is there any way to do this from dxf files?

Thanks in advance

Only in a scripted way:

RhinoApp.RunScript("_-Open "path to myfile.dxf" _-Enter");

Thanks menno your answer, but I don’t wish that all layouts and objects are been drawing on rhino interface. Is there any way to do this?

Another alternative would be to import all layers as sublayers of a temporary layer which will delete later. Is it feasible with runscript command?

In that case, maybe you can use the netdxf library. It can be found at https://www.nuget.org/packages/netDXF/

You still need to convert all the geometry data to Rhino format, however.

Thanks, I have taken a look to netDXF and I think that it is too hard, code, debugg and test all objects. I thought that rhino can generate a file3dm objet without load the main view. Since it is able to import dxf files with the import command and all work is done. I will continue looking for a solution.

Thanks again.

For 3dm files, yes. For all other file types, you will need to follow the steps outlined by @menno.
