DXF Import is scrambled in Inkscape.

Hi, I'm finding my DXF files are scrambled, per the image below when I try to import them from NX 9.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I've tried:
-Exporting as different DXF versions (2000-2013).
-Varying options in the DXF export prompt (hiding / keeping double lines)...

The dxf files seem to work when opening them in other CAD programs.

Thanks!

Inkscape is not a CAD program!

Edit
I'm not familiar with CAD. But if the path you're importing was all once path, it could not be broken apart and rearranged during import.

Hah, no it's certainly not...

Workaround: Open files in QCAD (freeware) and save as SVG. SVG files then open fine in Inkscape (can then do non-CAD things to them...).

Maybe share the dxf?
