Bug Description
I open Inkscape 0.48 on Win 7 x64 and draw a black rectangle, then Save As Desktop Cutting Plotter (R13) .dxf, and then re-import that that file again. The resulting drawing is empty!
I tried to open the dxf-file with other cad programs and they also show an empty file.
If I create a new dxf-file with another cad program, Inkskape shows only an empty drawing.
It seems that both, the export and import filters in 0.48 are broken.

To post a comment you must log in.
a) export with a black rectangle empty:
You need to convert rectangles to paths before exporting to DXF else they do not get exported.
Reproduced with Inkscape 0.48 and 0.48+devel r9817 on OS X 10.5.8.
b) import of externally created DXF files empty:
Can you attach a DXF file created by another CAD application that doesn't import into Inkscape?
