Hi @scavendish,

Thank you for the link and the DXF file.  
I talked with my colleagues of the PIX4Dcloud and PIX4Dsurvey team, and it seems that the two software are working in a different way.

* * *

PIX4D **cloud** :

DXF imported as an overlay. The file is imported and rendered “as it is” and cannot be edited. Only visualized.

* * *

PIX4D **survey** :

After the DXF is imported, the elements can be edited, more information can be added, etc.

* * *

Also, it seems that another user had a similar request in the “feature request” section. Please go to that thread and “vote” for it, and add a post describing your use case:

> Hello [n.dadoush](https://community.pix4d.com/u/n.dadoush) At the moment it is not possible to achieve it using a dxf. Maybe exporting as csv and editing the file but you would always will have multiple entities instead of just one with those properties/labels After import in survey a dxf with the point from your images, you will have 4 marks one for each entity. It would be interesting if survey could show the marks with name, elevation, code properties, as a single block. Regards, Rafel

Even though we cannot guarantee that a solution will be implemented, I can assure you that every piece of feedback is internally evaluated at Pix4D.
