Re: Thickness of line for DXF export

[hma syd odn ne jp]

Cyrille,
Thank you for your reply.

I tried to make Visio 2000 read the exported DXF file, but couldn't.
So I explored DXF export filter, I happend to find the difference.
Now I tried qcad, it seems no problem to read very small value of 
thickness. In fact, the thickness is written as 0 in my DXF file
like as:

LINE
    : snip
 39
0
    : snip

Thanks,
