ellipse .dxf
Gentlemen,We are currently using Bricscad Intellicad ver. 4.0.0041 The problem we are having is when we .dxf an ellipse shape. The new sourcecan not read the file. We can draw a circle, line or any other shape andthere is no problem. We save it as a R9 dxf. That is the version our CNCplasma can read. (with your software).I also downloaded Ver 4.1.0033 for a trial, the same results.This note does appear on the screen when saving as a dxf (r14 thru r9):Pre-A2K version does not support some entitiesThese entities will not be saved in the drawing.I can use AutoCad LT 97 or AutoCad 2000i, draw an ellipse, save as dxfLT2/R12 and the new source can transfer the file.Would appreciate any feed back on this issue.

this is what we find:- if you save as dxf12 and earlier, the ellipse is ignored- if you save as dxf13 and later, the ellipse is included in dxfout.We don't know yet if we can fix this (if the problem is in our dwg library we have no control over it), As an immediate workaround, we suggest to switch on PELLIPSE . This causes the ellipse command to create polyline ellipses. However, with our tests, the result was inaccurate(slight bulges). In addition, we used pedit to spline fit the polyline(it's still a polyline, not a spline). This improved the ellipse.
