There is now a better description of the procedure you need to follow: http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Dxf_Importer_Install

Also, this is technically not a bug...

Thanks yorik. Now I get the same bug as in 0.14, which is good. I will be able to export to dxf in next development release hopefully.

Maybe the new instructions needs an update? The new tab "Import-Exoprt" is not on the instruction. I had to check the "Allow FreeCAD to automatically download..."

1. Can we close this bug?
2. Can we lower the severity?

I updated the instructions on the wiki... I think we can close this bug report. Reopen if needed.
