I've converted a photo in Illustrator CS5 to a vector file. This file I have exported as DXF and then imported in ViaCad 2D/3D. The vectors I have clicked with the Extrude Solid tool and it will indeed extrude. From the three parts that need to be extruded, one will not extrude. A message will pop-up: "Two or more vertices of one body mapped to a single entity of other body". I don't understand this. The solid it refers to is the part to be extruded. Look at the video to see what happens.

I've attached the file if you would like to replicate the issue.

Does someone know what this is about?

It means you have either co-incident points or lines in the outline you are trying to extrude.

Thanks. I've changed the line type and then it worked. I only lost a bit of the shape, but that was not too bad.
