Hi,
First make sure the DXF is DXF 2007 format.
Later ensure that in the file open dialog, the Files of type is selected as "Drawing Exchange (*.dxf)" and not as "QCad 1.x file (*.dxf)"

Hi Pere ,
Just wanted to know - my convertor from DWG to DXF has an Option of BInary DXF 2007 and ASCII 2007 - which one is relevant here for compatability to LibreCAD

Hi,

binary DXF format exists basically for smaller file sizes.
Our DXF library supports both, binary and ASCII, but I recommend ASCII.
In more than a decade of LibreCAD experience I only once saw a binary DXF.
And this only because of an issue which prevents the file from loading.
So ASCII DXF is quasi standard, much more used, and therefore better tested.
