Hi Nadine,

As you noticed, the OpenJUMP DXF driver has some limitations.
However, some of the features you mentionned should work :
DXF TEXT should be imported, but entities are translated into simple points with the text as attribute. DXF POLYLINE are translated as Linestring or Polygons depending on the "close" dxf attribute I don't know what are polygons and areas in DXF, but 3DFACE are ignored by the parser.

I have not tested the driver with every dxf file versions, but it should work with most dxf versions, as it simply ignore unknown tags. The driver uses a lot of memory (dxf is verbose and the driver is not optimized to process verbose files). You should be able to import more data if you can divide your large dataset into smaller ones or to increase the max memory allocated to your JVM if you have enough physical memory (ex. java -Xmx1000Mo) . Otherwise...

Hello

my name is Nadine, i study in Germany, Hamburg HCU Geomatik. My Tutor is Mr. 
Dallüge. I will write my diploma thesis about free and bought software, my 
example is the difference between Openjump and small world. My problem is the 
dxf file. Openjump can not read a big dxf file. Openjump had only read one 
little dxf file, but you can see only lines and points, no text, no symbols, no 
polygons, no areas. What can i do? I need this plugin absolutly. Can you help 
me? Who has written this plugin? I have read, openjump can already import dxf 
file if the file is younger then Autocad 2004, is this right?

Thanks

Nadine Buller
