File not showing

Post by ov10fac » Wed May 11, 2016 1:53 pm

A while back (a month or two) I created a simple line drawing. When I open it now nothing shows up. I can open the file in a plane text editor no problem, but it will not render in QCAD?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I can only confirm that this DXF file is definitely empty. There are no entities stored in it, no blocks other than the default blocks and no layers other than the default layer '0'. Perhaps, this is not the file you intended to open or not the correct version of it? Just guessing..

Ok,

Guess I'll have to redo it. Not a major issue, just some ceiling measurements.

Thanks for looking at it.

John
