Text and symbols are not exported from svg to DXF

Summary:

When an Inkscape svg file containing text objects and/or symbols is exported via save a copy as DXF, text objects and symbols are not present in the DXF.

Steps to reproduce:

• Download the attached Inkscape test file
• Open the file in Inkscape
• Save a copy as DXF (either type: R12 or R14)
• Open the DXF in LibreCad, other CAD program, or Inkscape

What happened?

Most objects from the Inkscape file are reproduced in the DXF, except text and symbols.

What should have happened?

All objects should be reproduced in the DXF.

Prior to versions 1.0x, the extension prepare_file_save_as.py was used to ungroup and convert all objects to paths before opening the save-as dialog, and after saving, the user was returned to a document in the state prior to conversion to paths. No stages of undo were required.

This has been an essential tool for workflows that output dxf for CAD, CAM and plotters. The extension has been deprecated but exporting to DXF is not currently a complete replacement for the extension. #49 (closed)

Including all objects in the conversion to paths via save as dxf would be the best solution, but a working extension would be the next best thing.
