Our application is importing DXF shapes in a proprietary coordinate system. We are looking for the displacement coordinates to be able to draw a cricle, arc and ellipse in a 3D environment.

1011 A 3D world space position in extended data
DXF: X value (followed by 1021 and 1031 groups)
APP: 3D point
1021, 1031 DXF: Y and Z values of a world space position
1012 A 3D world space displacement in extended data
DXF: X value (followed by 1022 and 1032 groups)
APP: 3D vector
1022, 1032 DXF: Y and Z values of a world space displacement
1013 A 3D world space direction in extended data
DXF: X value (followed by 1022 and 1032 groups)
APP: 3D vector
1023, 1033 DXF: Y and Z values of a world space direction

Will DXFLib support those values in future releases?

Such an extension is not planned at the moment. However, it would be relatively easy to extend dxflib to support such additional fields.
