You are storing & inserting the the drawings from dropbox or locally?

That document contains no object folders. Meaning that if an object were
embeded in the document, the document when extracted should have
folders/directories for each embedded object. Example:
LOProbs1.odt_FILES
LOProbs1.odt_FILES/Object 1
LOProbs1.odt_FILES/Object 2
LOProbs1.odt_FILES/Object 3
etc.

Further, the
LOProbs1.odt_FILES/ObjectReplacements
shows two files at zero bytes (Object 1 and 31) and only one with any
data in the xml file: Object 9.
