DXF File Imports Into WP As Series Of Random

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A .DXF file imports into WP 6.0 as a series of random lines and scattered text. The user created and exported a .DXF file from AutoCAD 11.0. When imported into WPWin 6.0, the image appears as a series of random lines and the text is very large and scattered. If the user runs the GRAPHCNV.EXE utility on the file before importing it into WP, it is still incorrect. Specifically, some of the objects and all of the text is missing. Solutions: This problem occurs in all of the current shipping WPCorp software; specifically, WPWin 6.0, WP 6.0 DOS, Presentations 2.0 for DOS and Windows. The problem is with the DXF file, not with the WPCorp software. The problem is that the DXF file contains no header information. Because the file originated in AutoCAD and was saved in a DXF format, the file originally had a header. The user has eliminated the header by retrieving the file into a DOS Text editor and removed the information to make the
file smaller. With the current levels of conversions, WPCorp software requires that this information be included in the DXF file. Since the scaling information contained within the header is missing from within this file, the entities in the file are overflowing the drawing area and thus the image appears as a series of random lines going in different directions.
