Importing ascii points - can't make it work

Hello,

I compiled today LibreCAD from source (2.0.0beta1-73-g2a86e30) and everything went OK.
However, I can't use the 'read ascii points' plugin.

I've read all threads related to this and I've used all formats proposed with sample-levels.txt on ./LibreCAD/plugins/asciifile.

I *always* get only this message: dibpunto procesFile .

Is there anything I can do to debug this?

Thanks in advance,
Ari Constancio

This is an Ubuntu machine with all dependencies installed.

Nothing happens after clicking OK and after selecting Auto Zoom.
Rallaz, do you have any more suggestions?

Are there any dependencies version problems?

Thanks

I tested 'read ascii points' plugin and works fine.

See this thread for format information:
http://forum.librecad.org/ASCII-file-format-td5707429.html

Attached a sample file.
Import whit format "Tab Separator" and activate 2D point Draw point number & draw point elevation.
Run "View->Auto zoom" (point coordinates are out of default current view) and if you run "Select->select all"
you will see "Selected 330"

Rallaz, thanks so much :).

Finally I understood what was happening. Points are created in a layer other than the default one.

Somehow I couldn't find this documented anywhere. If one cannot import points onto the default layer, it seems it should be mandatory to define at least a layer for the points (and not optional as it is now).

Thanks again and regards,

May be missing some more checks in layer creation, but if you set on "Draw 2D Point" and layer name are empty on accept a dialog are sown: "Point 2D layer is empty" (with a bad title -Sample plugin- )
