Bug Description
In Footprint editor, when I try to import a DXF ("Files/Import Outlines from DXF File...") I get the following message: "No graphic items found in file to import"
The DXF files are exported from the CAD software "Front Panel Express", and they do contain graphics.
I need to use FreeCAD to read them and save again to DXF.
As FreeCAD is being able to read those files, I suppose there's a problem with the import of some DXF formats.
Note: I don't encounter the problem with files generated from Windows versions of the same CAD software.
Attached an example of a DXF that I can't import.
Thank you.
