DXF-file import into 2D component error

Hello everyone,
Ive been trying to import a DXF file into comsol to be used in a workplane. I made sure that the design has 0 dimensions in the Z-axis, but when i try to import it into a 2D geometry it gives the following error: "No geometry was imported.", I dont understand why this error arises. When i try to import it into a 3D it gives no errors whatsoever. I am also able to import the file into 2D software such as Blenders 2D environment.
I have the CAD import module installed, and i am sure that the file im trying to import has actual geometry.
If there is someone who encountered this error before and could provide some insights i would appreciate it.
Best regards, Simon Tenhagen

Hello Simon,
The issue seems to be that although your file contains a planar object it is still a 3D dxf file. If you need to import this planar object in a 2D geometry, try saving it as a 2D dxf file.
Best,
Jeff
