Is this right ?
 

Ok, here is what I did. It appears protel does not like the native dxf file. (This will happen when exporting dxf from certain tools)
1. Opened dxf in autocad
2. scaled drawing to .001 inches (It appears the scaling is way off for this dxf)
3. re-saved as dxf from autocad
4. pulled into altium. (protel)

This will get the filter into protel from there you will have to do the rest.

I use DXF processing software, organize your DXF file, now it should meet the requirements of the protel. :)

I just said that my practice. I can not simply use autocad and protel realized, I did not install these two software.

By the way, If anyone will, I also very interested in learning a science.
