πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

okay so bestie, listen β€” dxfwrite is literally the manual page for dxfwrite 0.14, and it's about to become your new hyperfixation πŸŽ€

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dxfwrite [OPTION]... [-o DXFFILE] INFILE

like, that's the whole vibe check right there β€” options first, then your INFILE, and if you want a custom output name you slide the -o DXFFILE in there πŸ¦‹

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does it actually do? it writes a DXF file from various input formats. that's it, that's the whole main character moment πŸ’–

now the options, bestie, and yes we're going through all of them, no skipping, no cap:

  • -v[0-9], --verbose [0-9] β€” verbosity, you get to pick your level of yapping, from 0 to 9 πŸ’¬
  • --as rNNNN β€” save as version ✨ the valid versions are giving a whole era-by-era timeline:

r9, r10, r11, r12, r13, r14, r2000, r2004, r2007, r2010, r2013, r2018

  • -I fmt, --format fmt β€” the input format, and your choices are DWG, DXF, DXFB, JSON πŸŽ€
  • -o dxffile, --file β€” the output file, iykyk 🫢
  • -m, --minimal β€” keeps it lowkey minimal, like only $ACADVER, HANDSEED and ENTITIES, nothing extra, she's travel-sized πŸ’…
  • -b, --binary β€” create a binary DXF, for when you're feeling spicy πŸ”₯
  • -y, --overwrite β€” overwrite existing files. yes bestie, it will absolutely replace what's already there, so maybe double-check before you commit to that energy 😭
  • --help β€” display this help and exit, aka the "wait what does this do again" button 🌈
  • --version β€” output version information and exit, so you can confirm you're on the right era ⭐
