Version .46 saves corrupt dxf file

[gelliebean]

I'm using version .46 and it was working perfectly when I would save a svg file into a dxf. For some reason Inkscape will no longer save the file correctly in dxf format. Nothing has changed on my computer. A file will be created with the dxf format but it's corrupted and won't open in other programs. When I save the svg file into dxf, this message appears-

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions\dxf_outlines.py", line 69, in <module> e.affect() File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions\inkex.py", line 154, in affect self.effect() File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions\dxf_outlines.py", line 56, in effect p = cubicsuperpath.CubicSuperPath(sim) File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions\cubicsuperpath.py", line 148, in CubicSuperPath csp[subpath].append([lastctrl[:],last[:],last[:]]) IndexError: list index out of range

I've attached the file that I was trying to save in dxf and then tried to open in RoboMaster software but it locks the program up every time. I'm a new user of Inkscape and I really love it but I need it to save files in dxf so I can cut the files with the RoboMaster software.

Thank you for a great program, I hope this can be fixed!

Hi, i am using inkscape .46 on ubuntu.
i tried your file and save to dxf and it works, qcad/bleneder/AutoCAD opened it without problems

but, you should use line thickness (hand + heart) in your drawings, instead of merging couple of line together.

and I am attached dxf file, which was produced by Inkscape

Thank you for the file. I don't know why it's not working for me in
Inkscape. I'm still getting the error when I save to dxf.

Have you tried import mine file to the program? if this works, you should try to reinstall inkscape or download a new package and install it.

Yes, I was able to import your file just fine. I was going to uninstall
Inkscape today and reinstall it to see if that fixes whatever the
problem is. Thank you.

    there have been a number of changes in the dxf output since the release of Inkscape 0.46, see Bug 192923 and Bug 255157. If you are interested in ROBOMaster output, you may want to download some newer code from these bug reports and try it out, or use a recent development version for Windows.
    attached is a dxf file produced using the ROBO output option on the latest development version. This file will load into ROBO Master without crashing on my machine.

Thank you for the information. I was able to solve the problem by
copying the contents of my inkscape design and pasting it into a new
inkscape document. Then I was able to save it as a dxf with no error.
Robomaster then opened it up just fine.

Good to hear.
In that case, if there is no objection, I'll mark this as fix released so that it gets removed from the list of things to do.
