Generally LibreDWG is stable for the most common entities and objects for DWG and DXF, plus hundreds more. It can write DWG r2000 already, plus all DXF versions. DWG write support for 2004-2018 is about 80% done. See also [https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libredwg/2020-12/threads.html LibreDWG discussion list] and [https://savannah.gnu.org/news/?group=libredwg LibreDWG news]
