    "title": "ezdxf drawing add-on raises 'More than 1 vertex required' on a 1-vertex LEADER and the whole DXF fails to render",
    "error": "More than 1 vertex required",
    "body": "## Symptom\nRendering certain DWGs (converted to DXF with ODA File Converter) to PNG/PDF via `ezdxf.addons.drawing.Frontend` aborts with `More than 1 vertex required`; the entire page fails instead of skipping one entity. Drawings exported by some customers' CAD systems hit this regularly.\n\n## Cause\nThe files contain LEADER entities with a single vertex. The frontend's leader rendering requires at least two vertices and raises, aborting `draw_layout`.\n\n## Fix\nDelete degenerate leaders (they draw nothing anyway) from modelspace and every block before rendering:\n```python\nimport sys\ndef drop_degenerate_leaders(doc):\n    n = 0\n    for layout in [doc.modelspace(), *doc.blocks]:\n        for e in list(layout.query(\"LEADER\")):\n            try:\n                ok = len(e.vertices) >= 2\n            except Exception:\n                ok = False\n            if not ok:\n                layout.delete_entity(e); n += 1\n    if n:\n        print(f\"dropped {n} degenerate LEADER(s)\", file=sys.stderr)\n\ndoc = ezdxf.readfile(path)\ndrop_degenerate_leaders(doc)\n```\nAn alternative used in another tool: wrap per-entity drawing in try/except and skip failures.\n\n## Verify\nA batch of 282 drawings that previously had failures rendered completely after adding the cleanup; the fix was then ported into the other render engines sharing the code.",
