I recently started using Draftsight in place of AutoCAD 2000.  When I open .dxf files the dimensions are missing but the leaders are not.  If I open the drawing using recovery, it will open fine and the dimensions are all there.  I assume that there is an error in the .dxf file but is there anything I can do to not have to recover every .dxf file we open.  One more thing, the .dxf file we are opeing are from another software program and they are version AC1009 or R12.  They open just fine with AutoCAD 2000, but not with Draftsight 2011, or 2015.

Thanks for your efforts and time in looking at this issue.
