A Python package to create and modify DXF drawings, independent from the DXF version. You can open/save every DXF file without loosing any content (except comments), Unknown tags in the DXF file will be ignored but preserved for saving. With this behavior it is possible to open also DXF drawings that contains data from 3rd party applications.
- ezdxf is a Python package to read and write DXF drawings
- intended audience: Developer
- requires Python 2.7 or later, runs on CPython and pypy, maybe on IronPython and Jython
- OS independent
- additional required packages: pyparsing
- MIT-License
- supported DXF versions: R12, R2000, R2004, R2007, R2010 and R2013
- preserves third-party DXF content
a simple example:
import ezdxf
drawing = ezdxf.new(dxfversion='AC1024')
modelspace = drawing.modelspace()
modelspace.add_line((0, 0), (10, 0), dxfattribs={'color': 7})
drawing.layers.create('TEXTLAYER', dxfattribs={'color': 2})
modelspace.add_text('Test', dxfattribs={'insert': (0, 0.2), 'layer': 'TEXTLAYER'})
drawing.saveas('test.dxf')
Install with pip:
pip install ezdxf
or from source:
python setup.py install
