[edit] Introduction

This script imports the dxf Geometery from dxf versions 2007 and earlier. The new version has its own wiki page here.

[edit] Supported

At this time only mesh based imports are supported. Future support for all curve import is planned.

Currently Supported DXF Ojects:

  • Lines
  • LightWeight polylines
  • True polylines
  • Text
  • Mtext
  • Circles
  • Arcs
  • Ellipses
  • Blocks
  • 3Dfaces

[edit] Known issues

Does not convert perfectly between Object Coordinate System (OCS) and World Coordinate System (WCS). Only rudimentary support for true polylines have been implimented - splines/fitted curves/ 3d plines/polymeshes are not supported. No support for most 3d entities. Doesn't support the new style object visability. There are problems importing some curves/arcs/circles.

[edit] Notes

This is primarally a 2d drawing release. Currently only support for 3d faces has been added. Blocks are created on layer 19 then referenced at each insert point. The insert point is designated with a small 3d crosshair. This handle does not render.
