Hello OpenSCAD,
I am trying to import a DXF file (attached) and get these errors using OpenSCAD version 2026.04.26 (git b38f6888)
WARNING: Unsupported DXF Entity 'SEQEND' (1) in "MMU3 for Core One L/Buffer/mmu3_c1l_buffer_plate_r1.dxf".
WARNING: Unsupported DXF Entity 'VERTEX' (88) in "MMU3 for Core One L/Buffer/mmu3_c1l_buffer_plate_r1.dxf".
WARNING: Unsupported DXF Entity 'POLYLINE' (1) in "MMU3 for Core One L/Buffer/mmu3_c1l_buffer_plate_r1.dxf".
import("C:/Users/wybat/Projects/3D Projects/MMU3 for Core One L/Buffer/mmu3_c1l_buffer_plate_r1.dxf");
I appreciate any help to know if this is possible to do.

Hello Bob,
Reading the dxf file in Inkscape (ver. 1.4.4 in my case) , save it as
*.svg *and then you can import the shape in openscad. Not a structural
solutions but it works I think.

To expand on Hilbrand's answer, another tool in this space is LibreCAD, which has a specific File | Export option for SVG files.

Also, is the original file a 2D DXF or 3D? Inkscape can only produce 2D
(if I am not mistaken), but if you generated a 3D part in another CAD, then
it could be 3D. As a note, years ago I got some 2D DXF files read into
OpenSCAD, which worked moderately well. Once of the reasons that I wrote
the color export stuff for PythonSCAD was that it simply did not work for
SVG properly. My needs there were very specific (shortening the tool path
for laser cut parts). I have no idea what your intent is with your XDF/SVG
files.
