Creating Custom Holders

[Corey Hampshire]

I am in the process of trying to add some new holders to my library. I have never had much luck making custom tools or holders. I figured time to learn a new skill. Anyways, I downloaded a .dxf and .stp from Parlec. When I go to import it I get an error. Problem with custom geometry file or data. Check for gaps, overlaps, or blanked/hidden entities. 

I have checked for gaps, overlaps and duplicates. Still I cannot get the solid to work or the geometry. Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any help!

Worked fine for me after I deleted the duplicate line on the y axis.

Here is a CAT40 Kennametal

 

HSK63AHCSL050669.dxf

 

Check the layout, the "nocut" level....then define in the standalone

Did you use the solid or the wire frame? I must be missing the duplicate somewhere. I am still not seeing it.
