We often have these dxfs at work. I think they are technical derivations from 3D CAD and if they don't fit on the sheet they are scaled. In other words, 10-20% of our customer dxfs are in the wrong scale. That's not so bad at first, because the customers dimension using the "target value". Just like in this example. The part is scaled 2:1, but I know that it is 21.5 because the customer wrote it on it, i.e. the customer's CAD.
But if Librecad imports the dxf and does not take the dimensioning "text" as it is but "measures" the true value, we as suppliers do not know what the customer means.
It would therefore be important, essential, so to speak, that the dxfs that are imported retain the existing customer dimensions as "text".
Is there any way to do this?
