Opening and saving a file without any modification result in errors with eDrawing

[vemo-france]

Hi,

Here are the steps to reproduce my problem:

• Open DXF with eDrawing (same with Illustrator) : it works.
• Load DXF with DxfFile.Load
• Save DXF with DxfFile.Save
• Open DXF with eDrawing (or Illustrator) : it fails with error message (translated from french) "Error while reading the file".

It does the same with the ~50 files I've tested. Diff tool between the two files yields way too many differences for being of any use to my poor understanding of DXF file format...

Resources:

• Before file
• After file

EDIT: when opened with Illustrator, the error message is "not enough memory to open that file" !

Thanks for filing this!

Long story short DXF compatibility is tough because the spec is so loose, it's hard to determine exactly what's correct. I'll keep this issue open, but the proper 'fix' will likely be multiple other issues that are discovered/fixed over time.
