3. Select the 2D file(s) and simply drag them onto the ToolBox quote window.

4. Once the files have been added, click the 'UPLOAD FILES' button to add the files to the quote.

If a part is uploaded and exceeds a file size of 4 megabytes, you will see the following warning:
Tip: Resave a .DXF as a .DWG to reduce the file size by up to 60%.
