Description
Draft DXF is a software module used by the Std Open, Std Import and Std Export commands to handle the DXF file format.



Importing
DXF versions R12 - 2007 are supported.

The following DXF objects can be imported:
 * lines
 * polylines and lwpolylines
 * circles
 * arcs
 * layers (layers containing objects are converted to FreeCAD Groups)
 * texts and mtexts
 * dimensions
 * blocks (only geometry. texts, dims and attributes inside blocks will be skipped)

Exporting
Files are exported in the R12 DXF format which can be handled by many applications.

The following FreeCAD objects can be exported:
 * lines and wires (polylines)
 * arcs and circles
 * texts
 * colors are mapped from objects RGB colors to autocad color index (ACI). Black will always be "by layer"
 * layers are mapped from group names. When groups are nested, the deepest group gives the layer name.
 * dimensions, which are exported with "Standard" dimstyle.
 * ... (list is incomplete).
