Description:
Previously, importing a DXF file included all layers, including dimensions, centerlines, and other auxiliary geometry. Users had to remove unwanted layers in a CAD application and save a separate file before importing.
This change adds an import dialog with a preview on the left and layer checkboxes on the right. All layers are selected by default. Unchecking a layer updates the preview and excludes that layer from import. Existing settings for units, extrusion height, curve segmentation, and shape nesting remain available.
This is useful for users preparing multilayer CAD drawings for laser cutting, CNC machining, or 3D extrusion. They can select the required contours directly during import without creating a separate, cleaned-up DXF file.

Example dxf: multilayer_part_example.zip
