Comment 3 for bug 1722019

thanks for the file. The problem appears to be caused by the fact that the release version is quite old. The file version is given as AC1006 which is AutoCAD Release 10.
    The current dxf import routine was designed to support AutoCAD Release 13 or newer.
To try to improve the format, I loaded this dxf file into QCad 3.15 and then saved it as the attached dxf file. This file loads correctly into Inkscape. (You will need to do some manual scaling to adjust the size.)
