Bug Description

I created a file containing two circles (attached to this report), tried to use "Save as DXF (Autocad)". This caused a crash of inkscape 0.46 Release (Win32).
Saving the same file as "DXF (Desktopcuttingplotter)" does work, but this is not a solution of the problem.

  To the best of my knowledge, the output option "Save as DXF (Autocad)". is no longer supported. It will call a shell file called ps2dxf.sh which will crash with a GLib:SpawnError.
  The option "Desktop Cutting Plotter" should produce an output. Before using this option you should first choose the menu item "Edit | Select All",
and then choose the menu item "Path | Object to Path". This will convert the drawing into a standard form that should give a more consistent result.
   Let me know if this does not work for you; this output has been modified since the release of Inkscape 0.46, see for example Bug 192923

    the file drawing.svg has been successfully converted to dxf, file attached, using Windows build 20711, and using Desktop Cutting Plotter output. In this case, it was not necessary to use the Object to Path routine.
    If there is no objection, I am going to mark this as fix released.
If you feel there are still unresolved issues, please feel free to re-open the report.
