DXF files with 5.203d

Hi Eric

When I open a DXF file (DXF from ClarisCAD) with 5.203d, it opens OK but I get a crash message when I try to save it and I have to do a force quit

When I open the same file with v.4.91b3 it opens OK and I can save it no problem. Once I've done that I can quit 4.91 and go back to 5.20 and open the saved RealCADD file just fine - work with it – save it etc. no problem.

I tried this with several DXF files from the same source (i.e. DXF from ClarisCAD) and got the same crash as soon as I tried to save it.

I haven't tried the various versions between 4.91 and 5.20 so I don't know where the problem started to occur.

Cheers -- George

Eric – I just tried with 5.11 and it crashes. 5.00 is fine and makes a file that I can open in 5.20! George

Yes George, it is a problem with new dashed lines.
It is fixed now and I will upload a new beta version which solves this problem (I think).
And with the possibility to change the width of texts in the edit pallet.
And also with new R and D values for ellipses as Mike suggested.
Thanks.

George,

A new development version is available which fixes the problem with dxf files.

Thanks.

Wow - that was quick :D

DXF works fine now. Thank you

R & D with ellipses are great.

Text still seems to go to one great big long line even if you set the width? Maybe I'm doing something stupid :mrgreen: ??

Cheers -- George

You must set the width when the text is no more edited.

Ah - so one can't stop it going in one great big long line off the screen while typing or editing?

Cheers -- George

It is probably possible.
How do you want that works?
By limiting the editfield at the width of the screen for example?

Cordialement.
