Hi guys, I finally decided to get more into my job (design), but I noticed that there is a problem with dimensioning:
1) When I give dimensions in each program everything proceeds obviously well
2) When I use librecad to open drawngs that are made with other programs it works -sometimes not perfectly, because there are specific program settings, but this is not a problem, it is just necessary to set lc dimensions' style and everything works-
3) When I decide to use another program to open a draw made using librecad, dimensions are missing or shown bad... (librecad 1.0.2 and Qcad c.e. V 2.0.5.0 seem to read well!)
Any help will be appreciated.
Now I use librecad master version, but this is a problem that I knew with lc 2 beta 1 and alpha, but time passed and I forgot because I was almost about to stop drawing. I forgot it: my O.S. is windows 7 x64
@ developers: friends, on each program I tried to save in the same file format.
Here the info that I have (unfortunately I have not Autocad to check...)
PROGRAM USED FILE SAVING INFO
CADEMIA 4.0 exported DXF (unspecified version)
Draftsight V1R3.1 x64 saved "R2000/2002 ASCII Drawing DXF"
librecad 1.0.2 saved "DXF 2000"
librecad master(compiled 13may2013) saved "DXF 2000"
Nanocad Eng 4.5 saved "Autocad 2000/LT2000 Compatible DXF"
Qcad 3.1 trial saved "R15 (2000/LT2000) DXF Drawing (Teigha)"
Qcad c.e V 2.0.5.0 saved "DXF 2000"
You already know that I asked many times about ttf fonts (I actually think you hate me for that

), but in my opinion this dimensioning issue is something that must have top priority even on other features, anyway, I attach a file to show better the situation, good luck!
dim-issue.zipbye!
