Hi Sven,

re:

Ok, I see now that it's that one circle being misplaced.

So that's going to be the same kind of DXF import bug as Mip ran into with FreeCAD where the DXF importer is not properly processing planar objects that have a plane normal going in the negative z direction. That will happen with circles that have been mirrored.

It's a relatively common DXF import processing bug, you can fix it by changing a setting in moi.ini which will flip those circles to avoid running into the bug.

In MoI go to Options > General > "Edit .ini file" button and then moi.ini in the [DXF] section set:

[DXF]
<...>
FlipNegativeZAxisCirclesAndArcs=y


If you want to report the bug to the Front Panel Express authors tell them that it's not following the DXF "arbitrary axis algorithm" in the case of a normal going in the negative z axis direction.

Arbitrary axis algorithm is here:

Thanks to everyone for interesting experiences and dialog about the problem. The minimalist approach from AlexPolo sounds like a good fallback as well that I'll try. I've forwarded your explanation Michael to the their technical support. Thanks too for providing a config to workaround the problem.
