Importing DXF files into LibreCad. (solved).

Can someone tell me how to do this? When I open the DXF file, it ask if I want to open it in LibreCad, which I click yes. Then I get a blank LibreCad page with no evidence of the file in the drawing field.

What should I do to view the file please?

Please verify in LibreCAD by main menu: File->Open

If the file is opened, LibreCAD says: "loaded document: /path/to/file.dxf"

If the file can not be opened, LibreCAD should also complain about it.

Still cannot import it. I don't see this anywhere:  " "loaded document: /path/to/file.dxf" ".

Just a black screen.

??

Please describe in detailed steps to reproduce this issue.

I have no reason to assume my problem is due to a "bug". I've little doubt that my problem is due to my lack of experience and knowledge of the operation of LibreCad. But then, I'm also in no position to say that it isn't.
Since the link provided above is concerned with bugs, I'm both puzzled about the reason it was posted and still in the dark as to how I can import a simple DXF file.

Do you think I have a bug?

Hi Jim

Try zooming to the full extents.

That's it!  I can view it now. Problem solved.

Thanks.
