[Plugin] importDXFtext
-
Thanks a lot for this extension!
Problem/bug:
When I try to force it to interpret a minimal dxf as being in mm, it forces me to use inches:
"Do NOT choose a unit that is less than
that set in the DXF [inches]
It's best to accept the default offered."
There is no option to proceed anyway, like there is if you choose meters instead.
Can this be fixed?
My use case is spitting out severely minimal dxf:s using different programmatic approaches. I skip header info, but it is still valid dxf. But since there's no unit info in the files, that the extension defaults to inches is a bit sad for a non-inch-using-person. -
Why strip out the unit's setting ?
Can't you leave it in ?
The 3d location of the text will be severely messed up too ??
If you can't keep that, then can you import at inches and scale the resultant objects using a factor to change from inches to mm [or whatever] - bearing in mind that the 3d location of the text objects could be well FUBAR ! -
Came across a problem where this plugin would not work for a drawing. It would try import the text from a dxf file but no text would appear in the SU model.
The ruby console showed an error "VALIDITY CHECK = Txt - invalid group".
I narrowed it down to a few Text entities which had "%%C" symbols in their text content (the diameter symbol in AutoCAD).
I changed them from "150mm%%C" to "150mm" and the import worked. Just one text with the %% means nothing in the drawing imports.Just said I would post it here in case anyone else has this issue.

Many special characters are trapped but a rogue %%C is not.
I'll add to an update soonest.

Here's v5.0

It fixes the recently reported glitch with certain ACAD diameter symbols in some strings...
