Create DXF (Drawing Interchange Format) file with Cablib

Introduced

What is DXF

The Drawing Interchange Format (DXF) file allows for graphic swapping in AutoCAD and other programs. The DXF file can be in either ASCII or binary format. Because DXF files in ASCII format are more versatile than binary formats, CADlib uses the DXF format of ASCII.

What is CADlib

CADlib is not a computer-aided design (CAD) program. It is the tool that creates the DXF file for CAD programs. It consists of two parts, a dynamic-link library for creating DXF files, and a programming interface that encapsulates functions in cadio.dll that can be used in Microsoft Visual C + + projects. In addition, Cadio.dll can also be used in other WIN32 programming.

Why use CADlib

Some programs need to output graphics files that can be used by programs such as AutoCAD, for example, in an "engine design program" where the program needs to output graphics, and the most commonly used interchange data is in the graphical format of DXF.
