What about BLOCK_HEADER in DWG->JSON conversion in preR13?

[michal-josef-spacek]

Actual situation:

Example (Blank AC2.10 DWG file) BLANK.DWG.gz After conversion to JSON, there is BLOCK_HEADER in the form:

...
{
}
...

Because code (in src/out_json.c):

...
     case DWG_TYPE_BLOCK_HEADER:
      if (dat->version <= R_12
          && strEQc (obj->tio.object->tio.BLOCK_HEADER->name, "*MODEL_SPACE"))
        {
          LOG_TRACE ("Skip *MODEL_SPACE\n");
          return 0;
       }
...

Which generates an ERROR log in conversion from JSON to DWG:

ERROR: Required (null).type missing, skipped

Because JSON {}.

I think that is bad. Some possibilities:

1. Remove {} from JSON, this means no error log.
2. Remove the code above and generate JSON code like:

    {
      "object": "BLOCK_HEADER",
      "index": 5,
      "type": 49,
      "handle": [0, 1, 31],
      "size": 0,
      "flag": 0,
      "name": "*MODEL_SPACE",
      "block_offset_r11": 4294967295,
      "unknown_r11": 0
    },

Which seems somehow right. The result after conversion from JSON to DWG is fine.

@ruban What do you think?

I forgot why I skipped it there. It can be skipped in encode easier. Variant 2 please

I think that was some issue here some time ago.

Ok, actually is fine I believe.
