Hi,
My name is Ion Apostol and I downloaded your software which is great but...

I use Windows 10 laptop i7 7700HQ , 8Gb ram, 2x 256 SSD drive , 1050Ti nVidia 4Gb.
Solvespace v 2.3~7c1ca460

Expected behavior

I tried both version 2.0 and 2.3 .
In v2.0 I exported a square with 50mm by 50mm and when I opened in eDrawings PRO from Dassault Systems the square was 1270mm by 1270mm.

In v2.3 the dxf export ...export only dimension lines the square is invisible.
I see that is an old problem. Is there a fix ?

PS: I tried v2.2 later and I noticed that when I export dxf the 50 by 50 square is not visible but is there . If I use measure tool on eDrawings and hover over one side of my square the line is there and can be measured ...and is 50mm long !

PPS:
I noticed in v2.3 if I change the colour of square line from white to magenta or else the exported dxf square apears !!!

@ionapostol Does this dxf file have the correct dimentions in eDrawings PRO? I don't have access to that software.

This was created with current master branch. Just checking if the issue has already been fixed.

Yes, from what I noticed is only a matter of colour of drawing. If is white is nit visible on exported dxf file ,but if I change colour to anything else then the line is visible in dxf file.

Is eDrawings PRO using a white background? Is this just a white-on-white issue?

No, I put one image with screenshot of eDrawings but I think the problem is on my side because now no matter if I change the colour I cannot see the square in eDrawings. I see only the dimension lines. Is strange because if I open the dxf file with Lazycam for example the square is there and I can work with that file.
Unfortunatelly I cannot reinstall eDrawings because is part of Solidworks.( I will but in a distant future)

PS.
I tried to impot dxf file into Solidworks but is nothing there I mean is no line to see.
I downloaded a small dxf editor and I tried to open the dxf file and surprise, the square is there like in image attached.

You can close this issue because I am sure is a bug on my side ( soft , eDrawings)
