Re: adding color to dxf file

Ok, this may help. The error I am getting at the bottom of the page says:

Help! dxf fill in color

Ok, I am so lost. I open a dxf file and nothing shows up. I can "select" and see a very rough looking dashed line sketch, but terible. All iwant to do, is bring in a pdf or dxf and fill in the color rather than just the outline. Is this so hard?
