Getting rid of "Recovery Mode"

[timoria21]

With "Recovery Mode", I'm referring to an AutoCAD warning that appears when opening LibreDWG-generated DWG files.

Related to issue: #346

Material is broken, right? What about hardcoding a blob of data that belongs to the correct material so we can write all DWG file formats without "Recovery Mode"?

Or better, can you point me to the line of code that adds the material? Is it safe to remove it alone?

Thanks.

All material objects are already not written. I'm re-enabling it currently to see what's the real problem. David J. Harris ***@***.***> schrieb am Fr., 19. Juli 2024, 12:35:

Sorry, I'm not sure to understand.

Do you mean that the Material Objects writing was recently disabled?

I've tested write-dwg with version 0.13.3.7262-win64 and I believe that the issues causing recovery mode on files generated by AutoCAD versions later than 2000 were specifically related to materials. See this comment from the previous issue #346.

I need to retest with the actual version.

I need to retest with the actual version.

There's still the ACAD_MATERIALS dictionary to be fixed. And LAYER.plotstyle seems wrong

[michal-josef-spacek]

Actually blocked by #998

[timoria21]

Isn't #998 resolved now?

Thank you,

[michal-josef-spacek]

ok, need another test of the actual situation.

[timoria21]

Thanks. If resolved, LibreDWG could write DWG files for AutoCAD with no "Recovery Mode" in all DWG file formats!

Certainly not. There are still too many unknowns.

[timoria21]

I'm optimistic!

Another issue related to this topic is that all entities added after AutoCAD 2000 cannot be written without "Recovery Mode" because the file format didn't support them yet:

• SubdMesh
• Table
• MLeader
• ArcDimension

@timoria21 You could help us, when you will prepare simple dwg file with this "problematic" entity (with minimal content) and send it to this thread or the special issue which is related to the concrete entity (the best).
