Hi,

When importing LibreCAD dxf file into FreeCAD, the resulting lines are arcs do not resemble the original drawing.  It was just a bunch of random lines.   However, I am able to open FreeCAD dxf with LibreCAD.  

I'm running V1.0.1 on Debian Squeeze.

thanks,

John

ps. Originally, I also asked about if there is a way to convert between metric and english units.    The dxf file exported from FreeCAD are in millimete.   I found answer.  I just scale the entire drawing by whatever conversion factor I need.
