Hi,

right now, I would like to import a DWG file into Inkscape. I found a converter DWG2DXF (https://cloudconvert.com/dwg-to-dxf) & could convert the DWG file to DXF, but Inkscape doesn't open the latter. I am getting lots of error messages:

  PYTHONHOME = '/tmp/.mount_InkscabmTr5R/usr/'
  PYTHONPATH = '/home/claus/.config/inkscape/extensions:/tmp/.mount_InkscabmTr5R/usr/lib/share/../../share/inkscape/extensions:/tmp/.mount_InkscabmTr5R/usr/lib/share/../../share/inkscape/extensions/inkex/deprecated-simple'

My question is, how can I fix those errors?

TIA,

Claus

Here is a dxf that opens in Inkscape. Please see if it will open in your setup.

Please share your file that does not open.

Hi Tyler,

thanks for the file. Unfortunately, I got the same error messages in Inkscape (1.0). Here's the DXF file I used.

P. S.: As a workaround, I converted the DXF file to SVG using an online tool.
