How can we work with Blocks on an external dxf

We are indeed planing to buy your DXF Export VCL and CAD Import VCL products.

First of all I must say that you did a good job with these libraries.

Our problem is that we want to create dxf files which must have some blocks residing on external dxf files.

Does DXF Export support this ? If so is there an example explaining this ?.

Hello,

As we can understand you need something the same as Xref in AutoCAD, in other words this is a reference inside of DXF file to another DXF file.
Or may be you need an interface of inserting a part of any DXF file into another one?

Actually xref command is what we need but it would be also ok if we can add block from another dxf file to our dxf to be created with your library.

Hello,

Currently DXFExportVCL supports saving to DXF versions R14 and R2000 (R15).

The matter is that if we insert the text of DXF file for any block completely then the handle's indexation can be disrupt (and most likely it will be disrupt) and AutoCAD will not display such file.
