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

Question

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?

It's not possible to create a 2D mesh directly from those curves; you'll have to create surfaces first. In your model it was fairly easy to do this using a combination of the Filler tool and the Split Surfaces tool:

There is a bit of a complication in that currently all your curves exist in separate Parts in the model, and the Filler tool will only work with curves that are in the same Part. This means you have to do a bit of preparation first and for each Filler operation move the required curves into a single Part. I used three Parts, as you can see from the different colours in the picture above.
