Autocad 2012 fails to open Librecad dxf (any format)

Hi there!

Librecad opens autocad-produced dxf files, but once any changes have been made using librecad, autocad 2021 isnt able to open the dxf again. This happens without regardless of the format. (R12, R14, 2000, 2004, 2007).
What can I do?

Thanks for Your help

please provide more information about this.
Which version of LibreCAD do you use?
Could you please try to use the latest dev snapshot from the 2.2.2 alpha branch?
What is the error message from AutoCAD?
Could share the file where such an error in AutoCAD occurs?

Hi!
I am using Autocad 2021.

Libre CAD is Version: v2.2.1.2

Im running Win11

Autocad does not produce any error message, it just says "press Enter", and after doing so, opens a completely empty drawing (without even the original filename), as if using the "new drawing" command

I just found out that Catia V5 does indeed open the Libre Cad dxf files without hiccups.
I saved the file in Catia V5 with a new name and now Autocad 2021 had no issues opening it.

So, it seems that Catia V5 can works as a dxf file-translator from Libre Cad 2.2.1.2 towards Autocad 2021 (it also works towards dwg)

I have several computers at different locations (hundreds of miles apart), some with Win11, some with Linux (Ubuntu). My job, generally speaking, is to produce conceptual design for tech solutions in 2d, explain it to the designer in charge and guide them through engineering, design and implementation.
Cross-platform compatibility is key!
However I would like a more direct method... (I don´t have Catia V5 on every computer)
Therefore, I normally use dxf.
(I also use 3d concepts, animations, videos, scale models, mock-ups, and so on)

well, if I'm correct, when Autocad just says "press Enter", there is a possibility to resize the top border of the command line by the mouse and there a more informative message should be visible, something like this:


Actually, a combination of
1) dxf file where you see such error
2) the error message from AutoCad

will let us identify the issue, I hope, so please share them if you can.

Otherwise - it's hard to identify what's actually wrong there.

Until now, no error message has been issued by Autocad.
It just reverts to show whatever file is open, or to open a new file.

Nothing shows up
