Success LibreCAD Version 2.2.0-rc1 (Windows);  Success LibreCAD Version 2.1.2 (Ubuntu);  Unsuccessful LibreCAD Version 2.0.2 (Mint)  


Successful versions:  Plug-in is simple to use and works great.  

1. Create a layer.  Name layer and then save it.  Use the point data listed below, point data is from stair stringer lay out. Therefore, named the layer "Stair."

2. Use text editor to create text file.  Name text file "Stair.odt"  Save text file.
 
Add stair stringer data points to text file:
 
170,130
170,121.25
160,121.25
160,114.00
150,114.00
150,106.75

Click on Plug-ins (Version 2.1.2).  Click on Read ASCII points.  ASCII dialogue opens.  Click on files.  Click on text file.
Use "Comma separator" Format.  Check mark "Connect points."   Check mark  "Draw 2D point" Type "Stair" for layer.

Attached is a screen shot of the "Read ASCll points" setup used.


Version 2.2.0-rc1(Windows) works the same way.
