Is it possible to mesh an imported 2D geometry which only contains primitives (lines+circles)?

I have successfully imported an .igs file, which contains a 2D section of a motor. Is it possible somehow to mesh the geometry in 2D? Which file type do you use for 2D geometries?

  • Thanks for reminding me about the Project option - that works quite well too.
     
    For moving the curves into single part, you should be able to select them by dragging a box around them in the canvas and that will also select them in the model browser:
    snip1
    After moving into a single Part there is still the problem that the curves aren't actually connected to each other. This means that the Filler tool won't see them as a continuous loop, so you have to use the manual option in Filler: either hold Ctrl and pick all of the curves individually, or switch off the lightning bolt icon and select the curves, then activate with MMB.
