[Nicholas Savenlid]

Hi

i get "DL_Solid not managed"

I am not sure why

I have the feeling this worked before.

its a simple dxf attached.

If its my fault, some hints towards to root cause is appreciated.

Marking as High at least until we find out if it's a regression or not.

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

We've never handled solid objects. Previous DXF import silently skipped them.

[Nicholas Savenlid (nicholas-z)]

But then it's a difference.
Now it aborts.

[jean-pierre charras (jp-charras)]

Pcbnew is not a MCAD tool, so many dxf entities cannot be managed, and are just ignored.
Now a warning message (as requested by many users) is displayed for ignored dxf entities.

However I do not have an issue to import your dxf sample: just a warning lists the ignored item (as expected), but no abort and no crash.

[Nicholas Savenlid (nicholas-z)]

Ok.
Maybe I misinterpreted that part.
My memory was that it was also not imported.
However this was some time
ago so can't remember the details.

a similar issue, with the file not imported correctly when those entities are inside (they don't get just skipped)

What is this report actually requesting? It isn't clear from the previous discussion.

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

@Maurice, the file imports correctly for me.

Please add the version information for which it is broken.

Oops, sorry. Disregard that. I see the issue.

We are not handling the engraving layer correctly. Remove that (and its items) and the problem goes away. It doesn't relate to the original bug report but we should still fix it.
