DXFPP(1)

πŸ’– DXFPP(1) β€” the glow-up your DXF files have been waiting for πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is dxfpp, from the General Commands Manual (section 1, the cool section, iykyk) ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

dxfpp β€” a pretty-printer for DXF files πŸŽ€

like. it takes your crusty unreadable DXF and makes it serve. that's the whole job. that's the vibe. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

dxfpp [-h][-o][-r][-x][-l] files ...

yes she takes multiple files at the end, plural, greedy little icon πŸ‘‘


🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so the tea is: the dxfpp command creates a more human-readable DXF file. that's it, that's the mission statement, and honestly? she ate. πŸ”₯

no cap, that one sentence is doing a LOT of heavy lifting and we respect it.


✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help β€” show this help message and exit. the classic "wait what does this even do" escape hatch 🫢
  • -o, --open β€” open generated HTML file with the default web browser. she's not just making it pretty, she's presenting it. main character energy fr fr 🌟
  • -r, --raw β€” raw mode β€” just print tags, no DXF structure interpretation. straight up. no thoughts, head empty, tags only πŸ’€
  • -x, --nocompile β€” don't compile points coordinates into single tags (only in raw mode). 🚨 heads up bestie: this one is only in raw mode, so if you're not in raw mode she's just gonna sit there unbothered πŸ™ˆ
  • -l, --legacy β€” legacy mode β€” reorders DXF point coordinates. for the old-school files that need a little extra love 🧚
