DXF output is broken or non-standard #207

Closed ShacharWeis closed 7 years ago

ShacharWeis commented 7 years ago

The DXF file that is exported from the latest dev fork either broken or non-standard. These applications wont open it:

Rhino3D InkScape CamBam

The only thing that did manage to open it was this online tool: dxfconverter.org

Any idea why it's broken? I can open it in Inkscape. Maybe that app is very forgiving.

ShacharWeis commented 7 years ago

My bad, InkScape does open it, just takes forever doing so.

i-make-robots commented 7 years ago

Please grab the latest again. I found a bug in FloatField that was rounding down. If you pen tip size was <1.0 it would cause an infinite loop and nothing would save.

Too much data :)

If I open it in InkScape and export it as DXF than Rhino and CamBam will open it. Maybe you can use that to compare the differences in the files.

I don't have rhino or cambam. Can you do it and send me the files?

I'm leaving this as won't fix until I get files I can compare. Feel free to reopen the ticket when that's available.
