Fixed

  • Accented letters in DWG files (é, è, à, ç…) came out as "?": the drawing passed to
    the DWG converter was read with the wrong character encoding.
  • Text size: each font now keeps its own capital height (Courier New text was about
    25 % too big, Times New Roman about 7 %).
  • Report in the interface language: conversion options, page notes and the block list
    were in English.
  • Yes / No buttons of questions (quitting with an unsaved result…) were in English;
    Qt's own dialogs (OK, Cancel, file dialogs) now follow the interface language too.

Added

  • Text keeps its font, length and alignment: the DXF text style uses the PDF font
    (Arial, Arial Narrow, Times New Roman, Courier New, Calibri, Verdana, Tahoma, Segoe UI,
    Georgia, Trebuchet MS, ISOCPEUR, bold and italic); a width factor keeps the length of
    condensed text; paragraphs stay left-aligned, centred or right-aligned like the PDF
    (title blocks). Fonts not recognised are shown with Arial at the PDF length.
  • Imperial units: inches and feet, imperial scales (1/4" = 1'-0", 1" = 20'…) in the
    scale list and read from title blocks; the DXF is marked imperial ($MEASUREMENT 0).
  • Collapsible side panels, like AutoCAD palettes: click the bar on the window edge,
    or Ctrl+0 to collapse both.
  • DXF preview on an AutoCAD-like model space: dark blue-grey background with a grid
    (major line every 5) and the X / Y axes.

Changed

  • Convert a folder moved next to Open PDF in the toolbar.
