I started off very awfully, by not having a look at either of the formats and by just adding support using whatever format that I deemed fine, which was very wrong. Well, after realizing about the mistake and talking to ``Erik and you on the IRC, I got the complete idea about what was to be done. I have updated the patch on sourceforge. Please do have a look whenever possible. I have attached the concerned MGED commands that I used to test my changes (screenshot) and the final DXF output file that has been generated. Here are the reference links from where I had a look at the entities and decided the final one : 1) http://www.fileformat.info/format/dxf/spec/9c99326db53b44a8a3abd9fbb336b62a/view.htm 2) http://www.autodesk.com/techpubs/autocad/acad2000/dxf/solid_dxf_06.htm 3) http://paulbourke.net/dataformats/dxf/min3d.html Hoping for a positive response. :D With Regards, Kalpit Thakkar > >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, >> sponsored >> by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub >> for all >> things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership >> blogs to >> news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
