From what I have been able to investigate on this is that the polyshape
rendering is not implemented in the legacy canvas.
With respect to the not being able to move, I think that this has
something to do with the hit detection that also does not implement
polyshapes.
When used in the module editor, when you look at the module file where
you imported the DXF, you will notice that the fp_poly shape in the file
does not have any xy points. Upon reloading the module file, the module
editor crashes because it probably expects xy points in the shape.
On the moving of the shape, the current PCB file gr_poly definition
would require ALL xy points in the shape to be transformed to do a move.
I think it ideally should be another shape definition that has an XY
origin (and possibly an angle) and then the rest of the shape positions
are relative to that XY origin. In that way the shape can be moved
without having to recalculate the relative positions of the shape
corners (and possibly distorting them after a few moves). I feel that
might be a safer way of dealing with a complex shape.

Hi Maciej,
I tried the version 6023 in win8 64 with the Marco's patch...
in pcbnew the import now is done also in OpenGL, but the shape is not
shown in legacy canvas (I'm importing with fill polygons selected).
In module editor if I import the shape I get a crash
@Marco
in pcbnew when the shape is imported and shown, after selecting a
block, it is not possible to move it
I cannot test in modedit because I get a crash after switching to OpenGL
thanks

Hi Marco,
Thank you for reporting the issue. It should be fixed in revision 6023.

Hi Maciej,
I am testing this on Windows version: (2015-07-11 BZR 5925, Git
c291b88)-product release build
In all cases I have the DXF import dialog (both PCB new and module
editor).
It is just when the OpenGL canvas is active, clicking Ok in the dialog,
there is no import happening. The 'Save' icon remains off/disabled and
there is nothing added to the PCB file.
When the legacy canvas is active, the import succeeds. The 'Save' icon
comes active and you can see the imported lines in the PCB file. You
can
then switch to OpenGL and the shape is shown.
Attached the antenna DXF that I am trying this with.

But the DXF import only working in legacy mode and not in the other

definitely a bug I think.

Hi Marco,
I have just tried importing the mentioned file and it worked here.
Could
you give some more details about the problem? What happens when you
choose File->Import->DXF file? Do you see the import DXF dialog? Does
the imported DXF shape appear at all?

Orson
