dxfwrite |version| documentation

Welcome! This is the documentation for dxfwrite |version|, last updated |today|.

A Python library to create DXF R12 drawings.

usage:

from dxfwrite import DXFEngine as dxf

drawing = dxf.drawing('test.dxf')
drawing.add_layer('LINES')
drawing.add(dxf.line((0, 0), (1, 0), color=7, layer='LINES'))
drawing.save()

First create a :ref:`Drawing`, then create various drawing entities by :class:`DXFEngine` and add them to the drawing with the :meth:`Drawing.add` method. :ref:`Layers <Layer>`, :ref:`Textstyles <Textstyle>`, :ref:`Linetypes <Linetype>`, :ref:`Views <view>` and :ref:`Viewports <vport>` were also created by the :class:`DXFEngine` factory.
