Dimension styles, Selection Sets.
- Graphic Objects
include Points, Lines,
Sub-classed Polylines, Circles, Arcs, Ellipses, Rectangles, Text,
Block Insertions, Dimensions and Raster Images. All objects can use
the 3D coordinate system.
- Supports plug-in
filters to open raster image
in various formats. CadWorks ships with an open-source plug-in that
supports the GIF, JPEG, and TIFF formats.
- A unique identifier
for each drawing object
facilitates external database referencing.

entities of the DXF
(individual function)
- Replace polylines,
splines with lines

clicks. 2 mouse click for sequentially drawn dxf files and 4 mouse
clicks for randomly drawn files.

ARCs into specified number
of segments
Sequentially drawn dxf file

and cut direction
Randomly drawn dxf file
- Prep DXF (remove
block, polylines, etc)
- Specify starting point
and cut direction
- Reorganize DXF per
