After installing ODA File Converter 27.9 to /Applications (the standard macOS application directory), using ezdxf's odafc addon to convert DWG files failed with ODAFCNotInstalledError. The converter was installed correctly—it ran from the terminal without issues and passed Gatekeeper validation.…

When rendering DXF files that originated from DWG→DXF conversion using libredwg, ezdxf's bbox calculation fails during the rendering pipeline. The error occurs specifically when DIM entities in nested blocks have extension dictionaries containing DICTIONARY objects that were orphaned during the…

When a DXF file is saved by ezdxf after having been converted from DWG via libredwg's dwg2dxf, SEQEND entities (sequence-end markers on polylines and composite shapes) can retain stale or incorrect owner handles. When dxf2dwg later attempts to convert the DXF back to DWG, it crashes in…

Scrubbing a DXF with ezdxf 1.4.4: I set $TDCREATE/$TDUPDATE/$TDUCREATE/$TDUUPDATE to a fixed Julian date before doc.saveas(), then re-read the file with ezdxf.readfile() to verify. The check doc.header['$TDCREATE'] == 2459580.5 fails: the re-read document reports $TDCREATE as today's date and time…

Iranian AutoCAD drawings store Persian as a contextual-glyph cipher for naskh*.shx/KOFI.SHX fonts; libredwg 0.14 emits the same glyph byte as cp1252, cp1256, raw C1 or %%nnn, so normalize to bytes first. Lowercase ASCII follows the Persian standard keyboard, digit runs are stored reversed, and TEXT carries the backward flag, so English replacements must be right-aligned at the old insertion point.
