dxfgeometry 0.1.1

A tool for reading dxf files and parsing all primitives by layer classification

dxfgeometry

dxfgeometry is a Python library for converting graphic data from .dxf CAD files into standard geometric data structures (such as polygons, lines, circles, etc.).

It traverses all layers in a CAD file and returns the results organized by "File → Layers → Data".

Features

• Parse DXF files and extract geometric primitives
• Layer-based organization of geometric data
• Convert CAD entities to Shapely geometries
• Export all geometric elements to JSON format
• Support for various primitive types (polygons, lines, circles, arcs, etc.)
• Reload previously saved JSON files for further processing
• Designed for architectural and BIM applications

Installation

pip install dxfgeometry

Quick Start

from dxfgeometry.parser import read_dxf_to_geometry

# Read DXF file
result = read_dxf_to_geometry('your_file.dxf')

# Access data by layer
for layer_name, layer_data in result.get_layers():
    print(f"Layer: {layer_name}")
    print(f"Geometric set: {layer_data}")

Requirements

• Python >= 3.10
• ezdxf >= 1.2.0
• shapely >= 2.0.4
