About:
dxflib is an open-source C++ library designed for parsing and writing DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) files. It provides a robust API for developers to access and manipulate drawing entities, layers, and properties without requiring AutoCAD. The library's main value is its ability to integrate DXF file handling capabilities into custom applications efficiently.
Key Features:
  • C++ library for parsing DXF files
  • Supports both reading and writing DXF formats
  • Provides an object-oriented API for drawing entities
  • Platform-independent implementation
Use Cases:
  • Developing custom CAD tools that need to import or export DXF drawings
  • Building automated data extraction pipelines from engineering diagrams
  • Creating applications that convert DXF files to other formats
Alternatives:
  • LibreDWG – C library for DWG/DXF, but GPL-3.0 license may be restrictive for some projects
  • OpenDesign Alliance libraries – Commercial libraries with broader DWG/DXF support but requires paid licensing
License: GPL-2.0-or-later
