A rust crate for reading and writing DXF CAD files.
Put this in your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
dxf = "0.5.0"Or if you want serde support, enable the serialize feature:
[dependencies]
dxf = { version = "0.5.0", features = ["serialize"] }Note that
serdesupport is intended to aid in debugging and since the serialized format is heavily dependent on the layout of the structures, it may change at any time.
And finally add:
extern crate dxf;See the documentation here on docs.rs.
There are some integration/interop tests under src/misc_tests/integration.rs. They currently only run on Windows when
the ODA File Converter tool has been installed from the Open Design Alliance. The tool can be found
here.
Since I don't want to fall afoul of Autodesk's lawyers, this repo can't include the actual DXF documentation. It can, however contain links to the official documents that I've been able to scrape together. For most scenarios the 2014 documentation should suffice, but all other versions are included here for backwards compatibility and reference between versions.
R11 (differences between R10 and R11)
R13 (self-extracting 16-bit executable)
2007 (Autodesk's link erroneously points to the R2008 documentation)
Many of these links were compiled from the archive.org May 9, 2013 snapshot of http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=12272454&linkID=10809853
The R2018 spec can be downloaded for offline use via the command:
