AutoCAD Data Interchange Format (DXF) technical notes |
• | The program supports AutoCAD files from version R2.5 to 2015. |
• | Model space pages are imported as master pages. |
• | Solid and trace entities are filled. |
• | A point is imported as an ellipse of minimum size. |
• | Files exported as "Entities only" may not appear as expected in the Corel program because of a lack of header information. |
