Dwg Import Library

Post by davecoventry » Fri Jul 30, 2021 9:15 am

Does QCAD use the libredwg dwg import library?

The reason I ask is that I am getting fatal errors when I use the libredwg dwg2dxf, yet QCAD opens the drawing without issue.

Hi,
I think you may want to include in what dwg version that those drawings are ... :wink:

QCAD uses the OpenDesign libraries.

Version number AC2027.

Thanks, Andrew: that makes sense.

Libredwg handled other drawings of the same version (sent from the same source). I was just a little surprised when QCAD opened it without issue.
