Objects you select are included in the output file - symbol tables Select the objects you want written to the dxf file. if you respond with "entities" (or just "e"), dxfout asks you to enter decimal places of accuracy (0 to 16)/entities/binary : the binary option is described later in this chapter. Precision you want for floating-point numbers and permits output ofĪ partial dxf file containing only selected objects. if you specify the file using a file dialogue box,Īnd a file with the same name already exists, autocad tells you Īllowing you to ok or cancel the deletion. if a file with the same name already exists, the existingįile is deleted. if you specify anĮxplicit filename, you do not need to include a file type. the default name for the output file is the same as that of theĬurrent drawing, but with a file type of. You can generate a drawing interchange file from an existing drawingīy means of the dxfout command: command: dxfout when autocad prompts you, respond with a filename or press 5 toĪccept the default. this feature is described in detail later

Interchanging drawings between autocad and other programs, a drawing You attempt to write programs to read it directly. To autocad, we do not document its format and do not recommend that since the autocad drawing database (.dwg file) is written in aĬompact format that changes significantly as new features are added
