Greetings,
I am a user of Alibre Design. When I export the dxf or dwg from alibre the dimensions are shown outside the sheet models.
I tried with different 2D CADs and only QCad and LibreCad give me this type of error.
Is this something known? Do I need to attach more files to understand the problem?
Thanks for your attention,
Greetings,
Francesco Ricci

"Alibre Design" seems to store dimension renderings in dimension blocks but does not store the correct geometry with them. Other applications might simply render the block that is linked to the dimension.

However, QCAD re-renders dimensions based on their geometry stored in the file.

Unfortunately, this means that you cannot import dimensions from this software into QCAD.
