Same issue I encountered after this 'surprise' modification :D The answer I got on the list is "you can construct in the CAD the midline"... yes, I can also transfer the coordinate list by hand, if that's the way to do it :( Before we had (for the whole plotting world): - Line: only the midpoint - Sketch: the line outline (two lines joined by arcs) - Filled: well, in DXF it was the same as sketch... I considered LWPOLY but they weren't too portable at the time All of 3 have their use; at some point someone (don't remember) decided that the line mode wasn't useful and ripped *all* the associated code; at another time they changed the DXF code to output the current 'merged' drawing (which *is* useful, for some applications). Too bad he pulled away the previous ones. Please try to not remove features in the future. -- Lorenzo Marcantonio CZ Srl - Parma
