🌸 DWGREWRITE(1) — bestie's guide to dwgrewrite 🌸

okay so this is the manual page for dwgrewrite, version 0.14, and honestly? it's a little guy with one job and it does it 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dwgrewrite [OPTION]... INFILE [OUTFILE]

like. you give it a file, you maybe give it another file, you sprinkle some options on top. that's the whole vibe 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what does it even do? It rewrites the DWG as another DWG. That's it. That's the whole personality. a glow-up for your drawing file, no cap ✨

And if you're like "bestie I don't wanna type OUTFILE" — good news, you don't have to! The default OUTFILE is INFILE with <-rewrite.dwg> appended to it. so drawing.dwg becomes drawing.dwg-rewrite.dwg and life goes on 🫶

🌈 the flags (yes, all of them, I'm not skipping any)

  • -v[0-9], --verbose [0-9] — verbosity. that's the whole description. it's giving mysterious. crank the number, get more talking 🔥
  • --as rNNNN — save as a specific version. this is your "what year is it" button 👑

Valid versions (these ones actually work, slay):

  • r1.4
  • r2.6
  • r2.10
  • r9
  • r10
  • r11
  • r13
  • r14
  • r2000 (default ⭐ this is the one you get if you don't say anything)
  • r2004

Planned versions (not yet, but manifesting ✨):

  • r2007
  • r2010
  • r2013
  • r2018
lowkey important: "planned" means not available yet, bestie. don't come crying to me when r2018 isn't ready 😭
  • -o dwgfile, --file — the original literally just lists this with no description at all. iconic minimalism. 💀 it's the file option, iykyk.
  • --help — display this help and exit. your escape hatch 🦋
  • --version — output version information and exit. for when you need to know exactly what you're dealing with 💜
  • GNU LibreDWG online manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/libredwg/ — go read it, it's right there ⭐
