DWG/DXF File Reader
The DWG/DXF file reader uses Autodesk's ObjectDBX
™
technology and so is guaranteed to read all object
geometry and information for those third party applications that utilize the ObjectDBX Framework.
The structure of the drawing is preserved including xrefs, blocks, inserts, AutoCAD color index, layers, views and
active viewpoint. Entities are colored using the AutoCAD Color Index (ACI), so will match those in an AutoCAD
‘shaded’ view.
NOTE The file reader supports files from all products based on AutoCAD 2011 and earlier.
Supported Entities
■ All 2D and 3D geometry, including arcs, lines, polylines with non-zero thickness, ACIS objects (regions and
solids), polygon and polyface meshes, 3D faces and surfaces.
■ Points and snap points.
■ Lines, polylines, circles, arcs with zero thickness.
■ Named views
■ Layers
■ Colors
■ Blocks, inserts and multiple inserts
■ Groups
■ External references (xrefs)
