dxf not viewable in Voloview
Posted: Sun Oct 19, 2008 11:52 am
First of all, thank you very much for an excellent product!
However I have a minor technical problem. I originally tried out the demo version of QCad which used dxflib 2.1.2.0. The dxf files from it were viewable in my favorite viewer, which is Voloview Express 2.01.
Then I purchased a registered copy of QCad which uses dxflib 2.2.0.0. The files produced by this version of QCad are not viewable by Voloview Express, so QCad is not of much use to me now.
Comparing the two sets of files it appears that the problem lies in a new attribute 420 that was added in the meantime. This attribute has the value 16777215 = FFFFFF in hex. The section that contains this attribute is shown below, roughly line 900 in the dxf file.
Would it be possible to investigate this to resolve the issue, since compatibility with AutoCAD is essential to me.
