## Description
This script extracts data from various types of entities present in DXF files, such as:
- Lines
- Circles
- Arcs
- Polylines
- Text
- Dimensions
Once the data is extracted, the script generates a new DXF file with the same entities, formatted according to a specific user-defined format.
---
## Features
- **Data Extraction**: Extracts data from a wide variety of entities in DXF files.
- **Custom Formatting**: Allows defining a specific format for the entities in the output DXF file.
- **Multi-Entity Support**: Handles both 2D and 3D entities, supporting a broad range of DXF structures.
- **User-Friendly**: Provide the input DXF file path, and the script will automatically generate the formatted output.
---
## Requirements
- **Python 3.x**
- **`ezdxf` library** (Install it with `pip install ezdxf`)
---
## Usage
To extract data from a DXF file and generate a new formatted DXF file:
1. Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/jparedesDS/dxf-data-extraction.git
cd dxf-data-extraction
```
2. Run the script:
```
python extract_dxf_data.py path/to/input_file.dxf
```
## Output
Formatted DXF File: A new DXF file is generated with entities formatted according to the specified format.
Vector Representation: The script also generates a vector representation of the DXF file for additional use cases.
- Example
```
Input:
A DXF file containing a technical drawing with lines, circles, and text.
Output:
1. A new DXF file with the same entities in a custom format.
2. A vectorized representation of the file for visualization or further processing.
