Import Error

Post by vestro » Wed Jul 08, 2015 5:01 am

Hi, this is vestro from China.
I have a problem to open a *.dxf file. I drawed some polygons in QCAD, then I saved as new.dxf, when I try to open new.dxf, it shows me a cation:

[Import Error]
[Cannot open file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\桌面(this chinese means DESKTOP)\new.dxf'.]
[ Please check your access rights, the file format and file extension.]

I tried many times of "create new file -- draw -- save -- open", even reboot the system, but the problem still not solved.
Can U help me, please
Thank you :lol:

Hello vestro - welcome to the QCAD Forum.

Have you tried to save this new.dxf drawing to another locations on your PC? You have the access rights for those locations? Same problem?

Could you please post this particular drawing to the forum?

Thanks!

Thank you for your suggestion! It help me solved the problem.
I thik the problem is caused by directory's name. I moved new.dxf to D:\, it can be opened properly. So I drawed some new drawing for test, and try to save them to some different directories, I realized that QCAD can't open files(include dxf, jpg, png and so on) form directories that containts CHINESE.

It that a bug?

Thank you 8)

Yes, that's a known limitation of dxflib used in the free QCAD Community Edition.
