That has happened before. I think > they do that just to mess with the competition. If AutoCAD change specifications, then how old file made in AutoCAD will open in new version? But yes, we can't ignore such possibility completely. If something is missing, then different software can guess that differently. That might be the reason. >> Conclusion: >> This seems a very strange bug, I need more time to investigate. > This is interesting. Sounds like their latest version actually reads our > file fine. I wouldn't be surprised if the failure is a regression. Actually there was mistake. Problem was not reported to AutoCAD but to LibreCAD developers and later they found bug in their software which has been fixed and now LibreCAD is able to open BRL-CAD generated dxf file. Sorry for inconvenience. :) Isn't strange that SolidWorks, DraftSight could open it, now LibreCAD also opens it, but AutoCAD fails. The companies like AutoDesk, don't support their own format as good as others :-) So, here we need Open Format for better compatibility. <snip> > This is certainly actionable and should be easy.
