3D DXF to NX Solid
3D DXF to NX Solid
(OP)
Hi. newbie question!
I have a file: 3D DXF. only lines (in 3D)
I need a Solid from this file in a NX part.

If you only have lines you can create, for each "plane" a Bounded Surface.
And create with this a closed Shell to Sew them at the end.
Maybe a (partial)picture could help to understand your input .

...I will use this kind of file (3d dxf).

You will have to read the manual on how it works, there is some logic to it. - as I remember it, one can in some cases create helper lines such that NX "understands" the intent.
Use the command finder , search for "sheet from curves".
The sheets will not be parametric.

Start the Sheets from curves, select everything, ok.
NX will create 13 out of 14 sheets in one go, then one can select the 4 lines which NX didn't like in the first step and have the same feature create the missing sheet. Sewing is thereafter a snap. As noted earlier, the feature is at least 20 years old, submitting an IR to fix any missing functionality might be wasted time.
File in 7.5 format.
