What happened to the dxf plotter???

 

Tried to plot a mechanical layout and it spit out the *outline* of all
the segments; the segment are merged too.

Also the circles are not circles but approximated by segments.

ABSOLUTELY worthless for any mechanical work. Can't snap on a center,
midlines are not there and so on.

WHY did you change it that way? The line mode exporter I wrote was done
in that way to be used for mechanical reference, not to give the outlines
of the drawings.

Arc were arc, lines were lines, circles stay as circle. Line thickness
in DXF is substantially not useful (and solid/sketch mode was done for
that purpose, anyway).
