After introducing myself, here is my problem... and I've experienced it across the past few releases.

I create my drawing in LibreCAD with leaders and save as DXF. Re-opening in LibreCAD never has a problem.
But, if I open the DXF in Trueview, I sometimes get an error and the file refuses to open...

****
The following error was encountered while reading
in LEADER starting at line 6888:
Leader entity with no vertices
Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded.
****

Below is a snippet from the DXF (opened in PSPAD):

****
6884  AcDbEntity
6885    8
6886  Drawing
6887    6
6888  ByLayer
6889   62
6890    256
6891  370
6892     -1
6893  100
6894  AcDbCircle
6895 etc...
****

If I go back and delete and re-do my Leaders, I eventually hit on the one causing the problem and opening in Trueview works.
Any ideas? Has this come up in other threads?

Thanks for any help can provide that saves me from going back and double checking my work [opening in Trueview] after setting every Leader.
