INSERT¶
Type: Basic DXF R12 entity.
Insert a new block-reference, for block definitions see BLOCK.
-
DXFEngine.insert(blockname, insert=(0., 0.), **kwargs)¶ Parameters: - blockname (str) – name of block definition
- insert – insert point (xy- or xyz-tuple), z-axis is 0 by default
- xscale (float) – x-scale factor, default=1.
- yscale (float) – y-scale factor, default=1.
- zscale (float) – z-scale factor, default=1.
- rotation (float) – rotation angle in degree, default=0.
- columns (int) – column count, default=1
- rows (int) – row count, default=1
- colspacing (float) – column spacing, default=0.
- rowspacing (float) – row spacing, default=0.
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 |
usage:
from dxfwrite import DXFEngine as dxf
drawing = dxf.drawing('test.dxf')
block = dxf.block(name='BLOCK1') # create a block-definition
drawing.block.add(block) # add block-definition to drawing
blockref = dxf.insert(blockname='BLOCK1', insert=(10, 10)) # create a block-reference
drawing.add(blockref) # add block-reference to drawing
drawing.save()
