Workaround: Alibre Design -> Export DXF -> Import Altium Designer

The Original file is the DXF file exported from Alibre, this fails to import with Altium Designer.
(The contents of the DXF file/drawing is not important, just the header.)

$EXTMAX has a minus sign

The Edited file imports correctly in Altium Designer.
Now $EXTMIN has a minus sign.

The $EXTMIN variable is set to a high positive value in the original export file.

The $EXTMAX variable is set to a high negative value in the original export file.
Here is the problem!

After correction with a text editor, the DXF import with Altium Designer was ok.

Probably several other applications ignore this value but Altium not...
