DXF (Drawing Exchange Format)

AutoCAD DXF is a file format, developed by Autodesk, in order to facilitate AutoCAD drawings to be opened by other CAD programs.
AutoCAD's native file format is DWG (Drawing) and couldn't be opened by other CAD programs. Therefore the DXF was introduced (Drawing exchange format) as standard ASCII text files to store the vector data of the drawing. The DXF fileformat can can handle a large variety of different elements. The LayoutEditor only supports element which are relevat to IC/MEM layout. Other elements are ignored. A warning is displayed in these cases.
There are a plenty of different versions of this format. It was tried to support the most of them, but it is possible that there are version, which work not properly.
