I wasn't even going to admit this, but...I have been toying around with a DXF reader for OpenJUMP that was inspired by Michael's work. Before everyone burns me at the stake for the evil sin of duplication please note that I did look at Michael's code before I got started. Some of the reasons why I started a DXF plug-in from scratch were: [1] I wanted a DXF parser that could read and use DXF layer information. In other words, I wanted a DXF entity on the "Roads" layer in the DXF to be placed on a "Roads" layer in OpenJUMP. [2] I wanted to support points and import of closed polylines as polygons. [3] I wanted a DXF reader that could be easily extended to support additional DXF entities. [4] I wanted a DXF parser that could produce DataObjects that could be used by other projects. [5] All of Michael's Javadoc comments were in French. :] It may be that Michael's DXF Plug-In already does some of the above, or maybe Larry has accomplished some of this if he has made modifications. I was really just bored one Sunday night and wrote most of the code in a few hours at the computer. Michael really did do great work on his plug-in, and it is what got me started. :] The reader isn't finished yet, and may never be, but if someone want's the code then I will share it and answer questions.
