EZDXF-VIEW(1)

💖 EZDXF-VIEW(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ezdxf view page — it's the PyQt DXF file viewer and it's lowkey the cutest way to just look at a DXF file without opening a whole CAD app. we're in the User Commands section, main character energy only ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ezdxf view [-h] [-l LAYOUT] [--lwscale LWSCALE] [FILE]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one command, a few little flags, and a file 🫶

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

🎀 POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

• FILE — the DXF file you wanna look at 👀 that's the whole point, bestie

🦋 OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

• -h, --help — pops up a help message and then dips out, no cap
• -l LAYOUT, --layout LAYOUT — picks which layout to draw. the default is Model 💅
• --lwscale LWSCALE — sets a custom line weight scaling. the default is 0, which disables line weights entirely — so if you don't touch this, your lines are all the same weight, periodt

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT

see ezdxf(1). it's giving "go read the main page, i'm not retyping all that" 🙈

---

🍓 FILES

also see ezdxf(1). same energy, same page, go look 💜

---

👑 EXAMPLES

wanna view the DXF file gear.dxf using the PyQt backend? say less:

$ ezdxf view  gear.dxf

literally that easy. slay 🔥

💀 real talk though: if you don't pass --lwscale, line weights are off by default (0), so don't come at me when your drawing looks flat. that's just how she ships.
