Hi Claus,

Remember that not speak english ;-)

About my previous post:

The author of the DXF specifications is Autocad then, so that is what I use to verify compatibility.

The capture that I added is to compare with LCinput.jpg (in your attached zip)

Same result opening in LC & Autocad:
Cademia, librecad12, qcadce205

Diference in decimal places ( controlled by DIMDEC, a dim variable not implemented in LC):
Drafthsight, librecadmaster.

Not equal (diferences in DIMGAP & DIMTIH):
qcad31

The nanocad file can not be open in Autocad.

Conclusion, LC only fails a bit opening qcad31 files, and 2 are because a uninplemented parameter.


Opening LC master in other CAD softwares:

Cademia can't open and Autocad yes, seems a problem of Cademia. (You have used zoom->all ? )

librecad 1.0.2 & qcad ce 2.0.5 is Ok.

Drafthsight, nanocad & qcad 3.1, opening some LC drawing in Autocad the result is similar,
on open the file dimension not are regenerated, instead are used *D??? unnamed blocks.
To force regeneration (in Autocad terminology)
select all, move from 0,0 to 10,0
select all, move from 10,0 to 0,0

This problem about use *D??? are present in dxf saved with LC 1*, LC master & qcad CE

Cheers,
