Re: Drawing a dxf cylinder
I can confirm it is possible to create a 3D cylinder extruding a circle, using extrusion direction and thickness. The main problem is that when using a extrusion direction different from the default one (0,0,1), the object appears in different coordinates, as if the UCS was changed... Anyone knows w...

Re: Drawing a dxf cylinder
I have been looking at DXF documentation and in the circle entity I can see:
210
Extrusion direction (optional; default = 0, 0, 1)
DXF: X value; APP: 3D vector
220, 230
DXF: Y and Z values of extrusion direction (optional)
Wouldn't that let me extrude in any direction I want?

Re: Drawing a dxf cylinder
I would not mind adding extrusions myself and contributing to the project, but I would need to be able to rotate the resulting primitive. Can this be achieved using dxf?

Re: Drawing a dxf cylinder
Thanks a lot for your anwser andrew. So are you saying that dxflib is not capable of achieving what I want or that the result will not be compatible with every viewer? I am OK with the second, I don't need full compatibility. If indeed would be possible to use extrusion with dxflib, could you point ...

Drawing a dxf cylinder
I have a cylinder in parametric form, that I want to draw as a dxf. What would be the optimal way of doing this with dxflib? Using polygons? NURBS? I am new to AutoCAD and not sure about the ways I can do this. I tried creating a cylinder in AutoCAD 2014 and exporting it to DXF and it only creates t...
