I'm not sure yet how to use DXF versions of DWG files in LibreDWG
debugging, but I am sure there might be some interesting techniques
involving the usage of DXF files. I gotta study the subject more
carefully to come up with something.

Right now it is not much useful, but it can be useful someday, so
thank you for sending the file. I'll save it and study carefully.
Thanks.

Your DWG file raised some issues on LibreDWG:

We need to implement handling of HATCH, MTEXT, LINETYPE on testSVG
these are the first things that I've noticed that are missing. Perhaps
there is more still needed to be implemented before we can properly
convert your document.

Try to do what Rodrigo suggested.
If that does not work, don't hesitate: clone again!
