I imported a dxf file from CorelCAD. This was simple drawing of a zodiacal symbol; Capricorn.

(At first I used the REGION command in the CAD program to create a 2D surface to extrude, but when I attempted to import that into MoI, it was blank with no error message. Can you not import a dxf drawing of a region?)

I imported a dxf of the image up to the step before I created a region

After several attempts I was unable to extrude this shape so that the result was a solid. All I could do was extrude the "sides". I am looking for a result with a flat surface.

I assume there was some step missing? but I cannot see what that might be.

In the demo of an extruded star the star has a 'top'. Why doesn't this? (see attached)

I hope this can work because the idea is to use MoI to extrude drawings that come in from a CAD program and not to create anything wholly within it.

Thanks
