  • Ticket #5705 – Description

    v2 v3  
    66The result I obtain is wrong (attached file "sampleb_output.dxf"), as can be verified in AutoCAD. Basically, one of the ellipses in the output has a wrong angle and its X coordinates are wrong. I would expect the same visual result as the input. The issue can also be seen when converting to a format other than DXF (for example SHP).

    8 Doing some investigation inside the input DXF using a text editor, I saw that the ellipse that converts correctly has a Z extrusion axis value (group code 230) of 1.0, whereas the ellipse that was not converted correctly has a Z extrusion axis value of -1.0. I have then done a test when I reversed its Z extrusion axis (from -1.0 to 1.0) and switched+reversed the start and end angles (group codes 41 and 42) in attached file "sampleb_input-mod.dxf". Then the conversion of the previously incorrect ellipse is done correctly (attached file "sampleb_output-mod.dxf"). Visually, the input and ouput are the same.

Visually, the input and ouput are the same, as well as identical to the original input DXF file.
