I can use the selection filter to find all radii and remove them.

Now i have to use the trim2 tool to manually trim all lines to sharp edges.

Is there a way to automate this in any good way?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
after deleting the radii did you try to built a polyline with "Polyline from Selection"? Probably you have to adjust the tolerance in Preferences ...

There could be also the posibilitie to copy/paste the rectangle shape using stored points. For that all rectangle shapes have to be identical in size but without seeing any example dxf just a wild guess from me ... :wink:
