Dime
Dime is a C++ class library for reading, constructing, manipulating, and writing DXF file data. The name is an acronym for DXF Import, Manipulation, and Export library.
The library is portable to any platform with a C++ compiler. It has no external dependencies. Dime is known to compile on Win32, Linux, IRIX, HP- UX, Solaris, BeOS and MacOS.
Features
loading DXF files into a Dime object hierarchy containing the DXF data
building Dime object hierarchies from scratch
extracting geometry data from Dime object hierarchies
manipulating Dime object hierarchies
traversing the Dime object hierarchies while performing various tasks saving dime object hierarchies as files conforming to the DXF file format
Dime is designed to support all past and future versions of the DXF file format. Internally we have tested dime with DXF version 10 through 14, and we've had customers that have used the library to handle AutoCAD 2000 DXF files.
The intended purpose of Dime was on importing and exporting DXF files. For this kind of usage, special memory management techniques has been implemented, that can be used to boost the performance significantly.
