Bug#920971: freecad: C++ exception on DXF import

[Wookey]

Package: freecad
Version: 0.17+dfsg1-8
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream


I tried to import the file houseplan.dxf
(http://wookware.org/house/houseplan.dxf)
I got this error:
Gui::Command::activated(0): Unknown C++ exception thrown

However I did also get a model containing Shape001 to Shape2829 which
all appear to be individual lines (so that's probably correct as
'Create simple part shapes' was selected in the import preferences
dialog). Not very useful but 'correct' :-)

The exception seems bad though. Possibly this bug should be redirected
to the DXF parsing library, but I'm not sure which one is in use.
