    I'm working with the latest Inkscape version under Windows 10, 64 bit, and I cannot import DXF-Files, it simply results in a blank drawing.

    When I run dxf_input.py in a cmd box, it throws the error:

    No module named 'lxml'.

    at the code line

    from lxml import etree

    and this is correct: There is no such Python module anywhere on my computer.

    So what can I do about this?

    Which windows installer was used? (.exe, .msi, .zip)

    .exe - I didn't expect any functional differences between those options, or is there?

    Anyway, I have just found a solution to my problem: The DXF to SVG converter by AnyDWG Software https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/dxf-to-svg-converter/9nh1frrbtr1v?activetab=pivot:overviewtab.

    The free version of it lets you batch convert up to three files at once and it performed convincingly on my DXF!

    Yes, the goal is unity, but there can be differences.
