Problem in importing dxf file as pipeline

We are facing problem in importing dxf files as pipeline. The model builder detects the drawing as pumping station which should be pipeline. The auto cad file is attached for reference. TOTAL.dxf

  • The DXF you provided contains a point (line without length). AutoCAD recognizes the element as a polyline, MicroStation recognizes it as a line, but ModelBuilder and ArcMap don't since the endpoints are at the same location. I recommend either deleting this element or replacing it with a true line (with length).

    Unfortunately, there isn't a command in MicroStation or AutoCAD (I know of) that can locate lines without length (endpoints at the same location). I used trial-and-error to locate this element (deleting sections of the DXF and trying to import into ModelBuilder).

    If you have ArcMap, there is a workflow explained at the following link that will simplify this process.

    Not all the layers in my DXF file are showing up in ModelBuilder
