I have been trying out the dxf2elmt plugin. I am using QCad that creates R15 version dxf file.

When I import the converted elmt, the lines are thin and with no text. I started to play around with with different things.

About Text
Using QCad, the text has to be simple type, then the converter imports the text. Only problem is that the all text is placed on the element hot spot. The dxf file contains the text coordinates, so the converter may be missing it. The text x and y attribute values are set to 0

About Lines
The imported lines are thin. I see in the importer source code that it looks for line weight > 0.5 to create the line-weight:normal attribute in the elmt file. My line thickness is set to 0.53mm, QCad saves this 0.53 value as 53 (0.53 x 100), so the importer misses it.

Are these dxf version related issues?
Are there workarounds?

Attached the dxf for reference,


Thanks

I removed sed command line and send new Flapak build, please try it.

Hi Scorpio

I will try tonight.

I created a python script to generate a basic parts list in csv format.

Hello

I am running the 0.9-dev version on my arch based linux machine. I used flatpak to install.

The export to csv function does not have all elements in the csv document.

I also do not have the export internal database function available. I have sqlite installed.

Any advice will be appreciated

Once built, will I be able to install from 

@joshua

This should solve the problem for new elements yes.

Ok, I can see when i click on the text in the diagram editor that the option is available in the properties. This is checked/enabled by default.

Is it possible to uncheck/disable by default?

My problem is that I have many symbols that use dynamic text for terminal names. This enables me to rename the terminals as I need. For example I have created VFD's with limited terminals to keep the size small. Then I can rename the terminals as I need them. Otherwise I will have various versions of the same VFD in the collection for different terminal combinations.

I can go and edit all the symbols to use plain text, but that is a lot of work.

Attached a screencast of 0.7

@Scorpio

I have been playing around with version 0.8.

What I have noticed is the dynamic text fields do not rotate with the symbols like in 0.7. Please view attached a screencast of 0.8. This happens on my Arch and W10 machines with 0.8

Is this by design as I see that 0.9 does the same?

Thanks scorpio810

It installed 0.8.

Hello

I have tried the Appimages, but prefer to have the application installed.

Is it possible to install 0.8 stable from flatpak?

In the screenshot you can see I selected the stable release, but the 0.9-dev is installed.
