Imported DXF incomplete and missing edges

Layout Footprints
1

Hello All,
I am trying to create a new footprint and imported a dxf (exported from FreeCAD). The dxf looks ok on other software (FreeCAD, libreCAD). However when importing the footprint is missing some segments. Any idea what is going on?

I hereby certify that I am not simply asking someone else to design a footprint for me.

This is an auto-generated message that is in place on the “footprints” section of the KiCad.info forum. If I remove it and ask for a footprint to be designed anyway, I understand that I will be subject to forum members telling me to go design my own footprint or referring me to a 3rd party footprint site.

For me it imports without problems:

This version is different from your previous version though.
This version has sharp points on the left side, while in your older screenshot they appear to be rounded.

The purple ouline is because it is a block that is currently selected.
