--------------- 
When we try to add Existing Curves of the DXF geometry for 2D layout we cannot 
select them. we need to make the sketch as an active to add curves.



Solution

 Workaround: 


i). Import the DXF file to Drafting as sketch curves (setting the appropriate 
Import options). 
Steps to Import DXF File. 
1. File -> Import ->AutoCAD DXF/DWG. 
2. Select DXF file to import as a New part. 
3. Options: Drawing View -> Finish. 
Drawing Views are imported as a Sketch.


ii). Using 'Define' command to create the 2D components instead of using 'New' 
command to add existing curves from the active sketch.
