Hi you all.

I imported a DXF file into ".prt" wildfire but it was positioned according to its original WCS on to .prt's WCS.
So I don't like that, because the dxf lines are far away of WCS.
To fix it, I want to move the whole lines taking from whatever point of the imported lines to .prt WCS.
It is possible? cause I'm trying but I can't get success.
 
Before you import the geometry, create a coordinate system offset from your part's default CSYS, such that the geometry will be in the correct location when you import it.

Then when you import the file, choose your new CSYS as a reference in your part.
 
yes! The issue is that I have built features regerding of the dxf lines, and I don't want starting again with my model.
 
Create the CSYS in your model in a suitable location. Don't reference anything when making the CSYS other than the original CSYS itself.

Then reorder the new CSYS to before the import feature.

Then edit the references of the import feature, replacing the default csys with the new one.

I can't try it now, so I can't guarantee it will work.
Hope it does.
Good luck
