![]() It provides all the standard DWG editing tools required to modify your AutoCAD drawings. You can even design a new drawing from scratch using it. Using it, you can edit DWG as well as DXF files in it. In fact, the support at both was so good that I'll continue to use them in spite of the set backs and confusion this bug caused. 2 LibreCAD LibreCAD is a free and open-source 2D CAD application that lets you edit DWG files. I have been quite impressed by OnShape tech support and forums, which both responded very quickly, as did tech support at Big Blue Saw. I have submitted a bug ticket specifically for this but thought others might want to be aware of the problem since some parts I ordered were not manufactured correctly as a result of this problem. I do have a workaround since the DWG files seem to be working okay. Safari and FireFox and the behavior is the same for each. If there is a new option that I have not seen. I have a bug, the colors of my drawings do not appear in the layout before export to pdf. This bug has been tested on Linux using FireFox and on a Mac using both Hello to all and long live Librecad I have been using librecad for 7 years and I had not yet taken the time to migrate to the latest version. I then took the extra step of loading the OnShape DXF file into LibreCAD then saving it as a DXF as suggested by tech support at BBS, and it also did not render when uploaded to their site. However, drawings without a border can be useful for drafts, sketches, exporting to CNC software or a bitmapped image, and so on. Completing and Printing Completed drawings are normally printed to scale and include a border and title block. Interestingly, the circle made by setting the major and minor axes of the ellipse equal using the ellipse tool renders fine. If you are using another version of LibreCAD, your mileage may vary. I haven't tested it for positive extrudes. It also does not appear in some external CAD programs. When I export this very simple model to a DXF and then upload it to Big Blue Saw, the left most ellipse is not rendered. The rightmost hole is an ellipse made with the ellipse tool. LibreCAD Bugs 588 Export as Images gives 0 length files Milestone: v1.0 (example) Status: open Owner: nobody Labels: None Priority: 5 Updated: Created: Creator: Jean-Luc Coulon Private: No Hi, If I try to export a file as an image, I get 0 length files. The center hole is a circle made with the ellipse tool. The leftmost is a circle made using the circle tool. However, I have isolated the problem as an ellipse problem that can be seen in my model "DXF Test". (Forum discussion is HERE.) The problem was not immediately apparent since the ellipses in this model look like circles. One successful workaround is to generate the image in PDF format, import it into imaging software ( GIMP, as an example again, has the capability and is free & open source), and modify/save as needed.I've been working on another project (Gauge Holder) and found my exports were behaving strangely under some conditions. As noted previously, the image exporting capability of LibreCAD alone does not seem to be working as intended for that task. Knowing that the pen widths will show as intended is also likely to be necessary in such a case. For example, an academic journal may require an image of a schematic to be at least 4" in any one direction, 300 DPI or greater, and TIF format. Generate an Image File with Specific PropertiesĬertain circumstances require the generation of an image file with specific properties. ![]() The intent is not to mirror related Issues in the GitHub repository, but to present workarounds to accomplish specific tasks. ![]() (Note that there appear to be issues with both functionality and clarity of the image export options.) ![]()
