X Twitter. Unfortunately the Eagle most likely will not read such a DXF. The reason lays in used shape types in Inkscape.
Most likely the Eagle can import only straight lines. So if we want to import shapes - we must convert them to lines. Example: how to create round PCB shape with round hole in it? They will be honoured during the import. Create two circles so that one contains the other.
Make the hole by subtracting them Ctrl -. The result will be a path. If you have another regular shape as circle, rectangle, text etc. Paths often contain Bezier curves. Importing them will result in an error. All arcs must be replaced by straight segments.
To do that: 5. Add more vertices to approximate straight segments to arcs. Set as many nodes as you need. Open board and import DXF. The results in attachments. If you need to create sophisticated shape of PCB suitable to the device enclosure you have to have this shape as vector project.
The Inkscape is free and advanced vector tool. I'm using it for designing 2. Accuracy of 0. Inkscape gives you full control on curve types too - this is a key functionality to me. You can easily convert these polylines to version using C command instead. On the other hand, the Eagle refuses most of curve types. Using mentioned functionality of Inkscape, you can decide about contents of the exported DXFs for Eagle.
