Cannot import file to another programme

[PerryBond]

Hi
I can import simple files from the saved dxf to another programme (to turn it into a svg for laser cutting) but when it gets more complicated (I think when I've used the array function, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dxf_input.py", line 477, in <module>
    layer = layer_nodes[vals[groups['8']][0]]
KeyError: u'Sheet'

Then it won't load

Anyone know if this is a fault with the array function? I see arrayed elements don't undo on the undo function either!

It's hard to tell you anything about that script (dxf_input.py) because it's not the part of BabaCAD. I can help you only if you send me that python script and dxf file which generates the error.

It looks like there is a problem with the layer name of one of the entities (dxf group number . You can go through that problematic dxf file and check every line after the line which contains number 8. By default those lines contain 0 (Layer "0").

I had some problems when try to open some dwg drawing. If I update the software to a newer version, can I expect improvements in opening dwg files? I used the old 32-bit version, but later I switched to another software (draftsight). However, neither software worked well with large projects (it either crashes or is too slow).

I recommend that you download the latest version and try it. BabaCAD 2020 is 64-bit, it can import a newer dwg drawings and it's optimized to work very fast with complex drawings (open and modify/update drawings with millions of CAD entities). It's free to try and test it.
