- 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.
