LibreDWG: “Plans are to add support for SolveSpace, OpenSCAD and PythonCAD”
- app4soft 6y agoHere is related SolveSpace 3.x issue/feature request thread.[0] Also "switch to LibreDWG" requested for LibreCAD 3.x.[1] [0] https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/326 https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/326 [1] https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD_3/issues/207 https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD_3/issues/207
- OJFord 6y agoBut when was that written? Latest date version/example is 2018. Wikipedia says 'development has stalled since 2011'. Otherwise, as I understand it, this woupd be helpful for Fusion360 refugees looking to get their 3D models (the part of F360 that uses proprietary DWG format) into other tools?
- colomon 6y ago"It can read the formats R13, R14, R2000, R2004, R2007, R2010, R2013 and R2018 for 99%." So it seems Wikipedia is wrong there.
- app4soft 6y ago> So it seems Wikipedia is wrong there. Yep, its article on Wikipedia written incorrectly.
- app4soft 6y ago> Latest date version/example is 2018. Wikipedia says 'development has stalled since 2011'. Are you talking about LibreDWG article on Wikipedia? Seems like it is incorrect written.[0] Checkout official LibreDWG resources instead.[1,2] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreDWG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreDWG [1] https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Libredwg https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Libredwg [2] https://github.com/libredwg/libredwg https://github.com/libredwg/libredwg
- animationwill 6y agoYou could update it with more accurate information
- app4soft 6y agoEveryone could improve articles on Wikipedia ;)
- OJFord 6y agoI was yes. Too be honest, I consider Wikipedia accuracy/to-date-ness a pretty good proxy for activity/popularity anyway. i.e. If it's so incorrect, it's because LibreDWG doesn't have enough users for it to be correct.
- rurban 6y agoThis is the current state. Written at about 2018. Development is in full swing. SolveSpace integration is in work already, but this will need a long time. FreeCAD import/export only supports about 20 of 200 classes, only the most important entities. But not much 3D, dynblocks nor constraints. You already can translate DWG to DXF via LibreDWG or Teigha. I never tried F360, so I cannot say which additional object classes are there, and if they are important. But F360 already supports export to DXF, IGES and STEP I assume.

- toomuchtodo 6y agoI am astounded you remember a thread 8 years ago on the same topic.
- app4soft 6y ago> you remember In 2020 we has a lot of "online search" tools. BTW, Mentioned article (from 2012) is not the same topic (except its also about LibreDWG).
- toomuchtodo 6y agoIt was intended as a random access memory compliment.
- dang 6y agoNo memory was involved.

- camgunz 6y ago"documented in Esperanto" is interesting; super cool actually
- rurban 6y agoNope, this is wrong. LibDWG was documented in Esperanto. lots of old variable names were is Esperanto. This was all changed to English.
- rurban 6y agoFreeCAD already uses it, SolveSpace integration is in work. I know nothing about OpenSCAD and PythonCAD. There is also a very new CAD in planning from Argentina, which name I forgot, which uses gambas, a VBA clone in Linux. which will use LibreDWG.
