Not sure it is a librecad glitch or just me doing it wrong. But here is the thing.
I was using librecad for sewing pattern making. Everything looks good within librecad, but all curves drawn with spline through points disappeared when I used LibreOffice draw to open the same dxf file. Texts are gone too. Circles are fine.
My sewing teacher uses ULSG WIBU to make sewing patterns. She finds the same problem opening librecad-generated files. I have to solve this problem to keep on with the following lessons. My temporary solution is to draw 2 points lines to fit the curves. This is quite bothering especially since snap on entity does not work on splines.
Snap on entity works sometimes but not always. I can't see a pattern of when it works and when it doesn't.
I don't want to switch to other software because it was a good experience (and price) working with librecad. So if anyone could offer a possible solution, you have my thanks.

I was trying to upload some images but it seems like I can not use that image-attaching feature, somehow. Soon I will make a recording of my problem, upload and leave a link in the forum.
Thank you very much.
