My code: % Reading the dxf-file.
filename = input('Type the name of the dxf-file:');
In command window I write
my_dxf_file.dxf
(saved in the same folder as the file) but get the response:
Error using input Undefined function or variable 'my_dxf_file'
Anyone know why?
Thanks

Ellen, use
'my_dxf_file.dxf'
with the primes (to make it a string input).

If you want this to be a string, you need to enclose it in single quotest
filename = input('Type the name of the dxf-file:','s');
User enters:
'my_dxf_file.dxf'
