![]() But here, if you restrict yourself at importing a very strict set of data (line endpoints, circles centers + radius, etc.), things migh be different, and maybe even you can keep up to date with Autodesk’s crazy changes to the format each year or so. ![]() I think that was part of the problem with LibreDWG. Which is good, because the DWG format is so complex that you can easily get lost in its many layers of data. Something to follow closely! The cool thing is that the code looks pretty simple. We contacted Yorik van Havre, member of FreeCAD team, to tell about the news, and he responded: It remains to be seen if the DWG importer will be available or hidden in LibreCAD 2.0. Some of his changes have already been cherry-picked to the main development branch of LibreCAD, but there are more patches still to be merged. Rallaz is working on the importer in his own Git repository. entities: point, line, circle, arc, ellipse, ellipse arc, insert, lwpolyline & text.objects: linetype, layer, block & text style. ![]() Acis solids are unsupported, because it’s encrypted data which can be read, but not interpreted. ![]() Meshes are easy and partly supported in the DXF format, in DWG they are work in progress. As for 3D, Autodesk products supports two types (3 really) of 3D entities: meshes and acis solids. The main goal is to provide DWG support to LibreCAD (2D), but also to be as complete as possible. “If you want something done, do it yourself.”Īround mid-March one of LibreCAD core developers, Rallaz, started adding support for DWG files to libdxfrw, a library for reading and writing DXF files, started by the project and licensed under GPLv2+. LibreCAD team started working on their own DWG importer, and FSF is trying to figure out what to do with LibreDWG. Just when you think the DWG story is buried for good, a gang of brave tomb raiders prove otherwise. ![]()
