14.2 INPUT DXF
The INPUT DXF command is used to convert a drawing in DXF ASCI format to
the X-CAD drawing database format.
The DXF file must adhear strictly to the format laid down by AutoDesk in its
description of DXF drawing interchange files.
All entities and blocks defined within the DXF input file will be created in
the active viewport. Therefore the active viewport should be large enough to
hold the drawing defined in the DXF input file. When the command has
processed the HEADER section of the DXF file, if the drawing extents
information was found, a requester will appear showing the drawing extents
and allowing you to abort at this point.
As there is no direct translation between DXF layers and X-CAD layers, all
unique layer names defined in the DXF file will be allocated incrementally to
X-CAD layers starting at layer zero.
COMMAND FORMAT
#INPUT DXF modifiers [CR]
The named DXF input file will be processed. Any syntax errors found will
cause the converter to abort with an error message.
MODIFIERS
NAME The name of the DXF input file. ( A .dxf suffix is not
required ).
UNLINK When an INSERT is found in the ENTITIES section of the DXF
file, the BLOCK that is created at the INSERT position
consists of a set of related X-CAD entities. The UNLINK
modifier can be used to suppress entities in a BLOCK being
related.
