Crate dxf [−] [src]

This crate provides the ability to read and write DXF CAD files.

Examples

Open a DXF file from disk:

use dxf::Drawing;
use dxf::entities::*;

let drawing = try!(Drawing::load_file("path/to/file.dxf"));
for e in drawing.entities {
    println!("found entity on layer {}", e.common.layer);
    match e.specific {
        EntityType::Circle(ref circle) => {
            // do something with the circle
        },
        EntityType::Line(ref line) => {
            // do something with the line
        },
        _ => (),
    }
}

Saving a DXF file to disk:

use dxf::Drawing;
use dxf::entities::*;

let mut drawing = Drawing::new();
drawing.entities.push(Entity::new(EntityType::Line(Line::default())));
try!(drawing.save_file("path/to/file.dxf"));

Reference

Since I don't want to fall afoul of Autodesk's lawyers, this repo can't include the actual DXF documentation. It can, however contain links to the official documents that I've been able to scrape together. For most scenarios the 2014 documentation should suffice, but all other versions are included here for backwards compatibility and reference between versions.

R10 (non-Autodesk source)

R11 (differences between R10 and R11)

R12 (non-Autodesk source)

R13 (self-extracting 16-bit executable)

2007 (Autodesk's link erroneously points to the R2008 documentation)

These links were compiled from the archive.org May 9, 2013 snapshot of http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=12272454&linkID=10809853 (https://web.archive.org/web/20130509144333/http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=12272454&linkID=10809853)
