Common Keyword Arguments for all Basic DXF R12 Entities¶
| keyword | description |
|---|---|
| layer | Layer name as string |
| linetype | Linetype name as string, if not defined = BYLAYER |
| color | as integer in range [1..255], 0 = BYBLOCK, 256 = BYLAYER |
| thickness | Thickness as float |
| paper_space | 0 = entity is in model_space, 1 = entity is in paper_space |
| extrusion_direction | 3D Point as tuple(x, y, z) if extrusion direction is not parallel to the World Z axis |
Attribs of DXF entities can be changed by the index operator:
from dxfwrite import DXFEngine as dxf
drawing = dxf.drawing('drawing.dxf')
line = dxf.line((1.2, 3.7), (5.5, 9.7))
line['layer'] = 'walls'
line['color'] = 7
line['start'] = (1.2, 4.3, 1.9)
drawing.add(line)
drawing.save()
