Description Martin West 2004-07-07 16:11:09 UTC 
1) export a diagram as DXF
2) try to open in in open office
Comment 1 Martin West 2004-07-07 16:11:27 UTC 
Cannot verify whether this is openoffice bug or not.
Comment 2 Lars Clausen 2004-07-07 20:52:24 UTC 
I have no other way of viewing them either.  You can create files with netpbm or
pstoedit to try dxf files from other sources.

Comment 6 Stefan vonHalenbach 2006-08-10 23:18:35 UTC 
I have tried this file. I exported it to DXF, SVG, and EPS. The EPS file looks like the original in dia. I see this as the reference. The DXF i have opened in QCad which can just import and export DXF. There i can see that all Text is rendered a bit too big, so that the text is out of the boundaries. Other than that, the DXF looks very good (PNG attached). In Openoffice2 (1.9.129) an older version of my ubuntu-installation the text is much bigger and the lines are looking not very good to be polite. It seems to me, that the people of OoO have still some work to do in this departement. 

Greeting
Stefan

given the analysis done by Stefan (thanks!) this sounds more like an issue of OOo
