We now have a new dxf layer, a few things to mention, If you “ Right” click on the “ Holes” layer in our example, you will have a few self explanatory options (Set as Active Layer, Hide, Show, Delete, Clear, Select All on Layer). I am working with Design21, a free dxf file.ġ) Open CamBam (this will start a new project)Ģ) “ File / Open” (This will open a windows prompt) select a dxf file on your PC, & click the “ Open” button.ģ) Right click on the “ Layers” text in the Layers Tree (Left side of the screen)Ĥ) In the properties pane, rename the layer, & change the color of the layer (the screenshot below has the properties name changed to “ Holes”, & the layer color changed to “ Lime”)ĥ) Hold down the “ Ctrl” key on the keyboard, & “ Left” click to select multiple dxf objects in the drawing area.Ħ) “ Edit / Copy” (this will copy all the selected objects to memory)ħ) “ Left” click on the “ Holes” layer we created earlier (make sure the “ Holes” layer is highlighted)Ĩ) “ Edit / Paste” (this will paste a copy of the dxf objects we selected in previous step) In this tutorial, we will add a new layer to a single layer dxf file, inside the free version of " CamBam Rel 2".
