I’ve found a bug in DXF driver: when reading features of type DIMENSION this
driver translates them to multilinestrings, which is ok, but then puts
unnecessary leading lines and rotates the main line (with arrows) to a
horizontal state, which is really a wrong representation.
Here are two screenshots illustrating the issue: one from a cad viewer
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7488735/acad_dxf.png
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7488735/acad_dxf.png>) and another one
from QGIS (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7488735/gdal_dxf.png
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7488735/gdal_dxf.png>), which uses gdal
DXF driver to read this format.
I haven’t tried the new GSoC DWG driver yet (I guess it’s only in trunk now and
not yet released) and unsure if it works for DXF. I very much hope this bug
isn’t present there and dimension features are translated correctly. I’ll try
out this new driver and let you know.
Cheers,
Nick
