My i7-2620 @ 2.7GHz took about 25 seconds but did indeed successfully load it in the end. Given as the layout only contains 68 circular holes (64 in an 8x8 grid plus 4 others), this feels like an inordinately long time though. It still seems like a bug somehow - but I wonder if in fact the bug is in Inkscape, for having generated such a large (in term of bytes) DXF file containing so many tiny arc segments, for such a simple geometry. In case it would help to compare, attached now is also the original SVG file I made in Inkscape. I used "Save As" to export an R14 DXF file. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans [email protected] | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/
