Import of a block from a file from file - import or its related icon does not place anything on the drawing or add it to the block list.
When you open the command, the import drawing dialog appears as well as the options tool bar. Whether save as block is checked or not, nothing happens and the options tool bar closes when a file name has been selected and open is clicked on the import drawing dialog.

Dragging and dropping a file on the main screen still works

In the attached drawing, the origin is at the lower left, but $EXTMAX 10 = 0, 20 = .66473 and $EXTMIN = 10 = 3.2, 20 = 0

The X value for $EXTMAX should be 3.2
The X value for #EXTMIN should be 0

the following is an excerpt from the file

using the trim (RM) command
the drawing has a circle with a line going through it. I want to trim the line ends to the circle with the remaining lines inside the circle.
select the circle as limiting entity.
command line says Choose entity to trim. click the line on the right side of center, the excess line on the right is properly trimmed.
command line says Choose entity to trim. Click the remaining line inside the circle on the left side of center. nothing happens.

if I exit the trim command and re-enter, now I can trim the left side of the line

The attached file is not saving font preference.
All fonts on the online layer are reported as the standard font. If I highlight one or all of the text entities and change the font to something like Yu gothic light, the property page reports yu gothic light and the screen reflects the changed font.
If I save, close and reload, the fonts for all text is again “standard”.

So then I try to enter new text via the “A” draw text command icon. I select “Broadway.ttf” as the main font in the text entry dialog.
One word “Broadway” is entered as the text. it appears on the upper left of the screen as expected and the font name is Broadway in the property editor. If I look at the dxf file source there is a whole bunch of text styles.
I save and close the file, and then open it again. Now the word Broadway has changed to font name “standard” in the property editor and is very definitely not the Broadway.ttf font.

I am not the originator of the file, I am just trying to change the font. If I start a new file and enter new text the font saves just fine, so I am thinking it is a setting somewhere, but I am unable to find it.

We (me and my customers) use these files for engraving so exact font is critical.

Trim, or round do not work between the green line and the magenta arc. The line properties do not report the length correctly.

Info - distance reports the distance between the end point of the magenta arc and the start point of the red arc as .1534. the Property editor reports the green line length as .257.

If the length of the green line is edited to .5 inches then trim and round work properly, and the green line length is reported properly. The other line/arc intersections have been edited in this manner.

Exploded a simple text A into polylines. exploded polylines into lines and arcs. modified by using trim and break out segment. result makes a bunch of zero length entities. can be found and eliminated by using detect zero length, but casual user just see a bunch of errors in the dxf r21 file.

as you can see the coordinates are wacko and start and end angles are the same.
