Hi,

yes - it is a read/write driver.

Since there are so many dxf variations out there reading may not be supported for all files. Also there are some issues with reading (e.g. block references, maybe some text issues). Curves and Splines are segmented on reading the dxf. An application that reads dxf needs to be able to deal with multiple geometry formats at once - e.g. mixed linestrings/point/text/polygon.

DWG reading is not supported by this reader, since DWG is not well documented (at least not in the public) and a binary format.

It would be good if you could test and report issues.

Regarding writing:
* OGRFeatureStyling is supported partially (at least pen colors work, dashes I think not)
* currently there is no way to write to more than one layer
* again issues with block references

There will be further work on this provider. If you (or someone else) would have some money for improvements it would help as well.

Best,
Andreas

Hi,

I believe it also writes:

"DXF files are written in AutoCAD 2000 format."

Best regards,

Thanks for pointing this out, I was not aware of the development. But
that is a read-only driver, is it not?

Bye
Frederik
