In 0.14 version (the one in debian right now), the preferences option is in
Preferences->Draft->DXF instead of Preferences->Import/export->DXF.
This is already fixed upstream and will appear correctly in next versions.
The message also appears in the FreeCAD UI if you enable/show the output
window

Hello,
I am unable to use DXF files in freecad.
In the console(no UI!) there is this message:
DXF libraries not found. Downloading...
The DXF import/export libraries needed by FreeCAD to handle the DXF
format
were not found on
Hi Anton,
Actually that Draft_rc.py file is generated after something
was changed to some of the UI files. I need to make that
happen at compile time some day... In our case here it is
necessary because the preferences settings UI was changed
to add the possibility to reenable auto downloads.
You
Hi Yorik,
thanks for the patch! I tried to adopt it for the current
Debian freecad version, but you are right, there is a problem
to patch Draft_rc.py. Are there really necessary changes in this file
which needs to be done to fix the issue?
I am considering now to upload the latest git-version of
Hi Anton,
I just committed[1] a fix to this problem. From now on, downloads are
disabled by default. The fist time you want to use the DXF import or
export feature, the user receives a message explaining him that
he needs either to enable automatic downloads, via the freecad
preferences settings,
Okay, I'll try to do that this weekend

We have not so much time till Debian`s freeze. If you think, there is no
"proper" solution let`s disable this fea
Hi Anton,
No, not directly... It's just an example of how to do it.
But Francesco doesn't like that solution, and I'm afraid we're
again embarking in a long-term issue if I apply the solution
from the patch.
I wonder if it's not easier to simply disable the
whole DXF import/export, and indicate t

Hi
Thanks a lot for that example D, it is indeed much simpler than I
thought...
I change my mind, this now seems a very good solution ;) Would it be
enough, though? The final user won't be able to judge... Maybe
popping up a dialog the first time, explaining what will happen, would
be a good thing
Hi and thanks for the input,
I think this bug is less about licencing, which is a large and complex
issue, than a quick fix for code execution. Upstream can make their
decisions about licencing. This is possibly not a debian question, and i
feel somewhat tangential to this bug, and the issues

Hello Yorik,
I noticed this bug report and I felt the need to comment.
You probably remember me as the one who originally reported the
OpenCASCADE licensing issues for the freecad Debian package.

Thanks for the reply
These are all pretty complex solutions, any of them will take time to
implement I'm afraid. As a
short-term solution, the only idea I can come up with is disabling DXF
import/export by default
and advising users to download and install the required libraries

Hi, and thanks for the quick response.
I was unaware of the licensing issue - I don't really have an opinion on
the licencing problem, but more the technical issue of unsigned code
execution. Whilst you/upstream control the resource, freecad doesn't
confirm that the download actually comes fro
Hi,
This download happens the first time a user wants to use the DXF
import/export feature. Since the license of our DXF exporter is GPL, and
other components of FreeCAD prevent from linking to GPL code (namely
OpenCasCade and Coin3D) (the whole story is another Debian bug), we found
this trick of

Dear Maintainer,
As per discussions with the security team, I am marking the severity as
grave.
