C.1.5.1  HEADER Section

The HEADER section of the DXF file contains settings of variables
associated with the drawing.  These variables are set with various commands
and are the type of information displayed by the STATUS command.  Each
variable is specified in the header section by a 9 group giving its name,
followed by groups that supply its value.  The header variables, the groups
that follow, and their meanings are listed below.

Although this list is very similar to the list of system variables in
Appendix A, the two lists are not identical.  Be sure you're referring to
the proper list.

The header variables listed below existed prior to AutoCAD Release 10 but
now have independent settings for each active viewport.  They are not
output by DXFOUT unless system variable FLATLAND is set to 1.  DXFIN honors
these variables when read from DXF files, but if a VPORT symbol table with
"*ACTIVE" entries is present (as is true for any DXF file produced by
Release 10 or higher), the values in the VPORT table entries will override
the values of these header variables.

  $GRIDMODE     70     grid mode on if nonzero.
  $GRIDUNIT   10,20    grid X and Y spacing.

  $SNAPBASE   10,20    snap/grid base point (in UCS).
  $SNAPISOPAIR  70     isometric plane: 0=left, 1=top, 2=right.
  $SNAPMODE     70     snap mode on if nonzero.
  $SNAPSTYLE    70     snap style: 0=standard, 1=isometric.
  $SNAPUNIT   10,20    snap grid X and Y spacing.
  $VIEWCTR    10,20    XY center of current view on screen.
  $VIEWDIR   10,20,30  viewing direction (direction from target, in WCS).
  $VIEWSIZE     40     height of view.

The date/time variables ($TDCREATE and $TDUPDATE) are output as real num-
bers in the format:

    <Julian date>.<Fraction>

The elapsed time variables ($TDINDWG and $TDUSRTIMER) have a similar
format:

    <Number of days>.<Fraction>


C.1.5.2  TABLES Section

The TABLES section contains several tables, each of which in turn contains
a variable number of table entries. The order of the tables may change, but
the LTYPE table will always precede the LAYER table.  Each table is intro-
duced with a 0 group with the label "TABLE".  This is followed by a 2 group
identifying the particular table (VPORT, LTYPE, LAYER, STYLE, VIEW, UCS, or
DWGMGR) and a 70 group that specifies the maximum number of table entries

                                                                          9

that may follow. The tables in a drawing may contain deleted items, but
these are not written to the DXF file.  Thus, fewer table entries may
follow the table header than are indicated by the 70 group, so don't use
the count in the 70 group as an index to read in the table.  It is provided
so that your program to read DXF files can allocate an array in advance
large enough to hold all the table entries that follow.

Following this header for each table are the table entries.  Each table
item consists of a 0 group identifying the item type (same as table name,
e.g., "LTYPE" or "LAYER"), a 2 group giving the name of the table entry, a
70 group specifying flags relevant to the table entry (defined for each
table below), and additional groups that give the value of the table entry.
The end of each table is indicated by a 0 group with the value "ENDTAB".

If any table entry has bit value 64 set in its group 70 flags, the table
entry was referenced by at least one entity in the drawing the last time
the drawing editor was entered to edit this drawing.  This "referenced"
flag is for the benefit of the PURGE command; it can be ignored by most
programs that read DXF files, and need not be set by programs that write
DXF files.

The following are the groups used for each type of table item.  All groups
are present for each table item.

  LTYPE    3 (descriptive text for linetype), 72 (alignment code), 73
           (number of dash length items), 40 (total pattern length), 49
           (dash length 1), 49 (dash length 2), . . .

  LAYER    62 (color number, negative if layer is off), 6 (linetype
           name).  The 1 bit is set in the 70 group flags if the layer is
           frozen.

  STYLE    40 (fixed text height; 0 if not fixed), 41 (width factor), 50
           (obliquing angle), 71 (text generation flags), 42 (last height
           used), 3 (primary font file name), 4 ("bigfont" file name;
           blank if none).  If the third bit (4) is set in the 70 group
           flags, this is a vertically-oriented text style.

           A STYLE table item is used to record shape file LOAD requests
           also.  In this case the first bit (1) is set in the 70 group
           flags and only the 3 group (shape file name) is meaningful
           (all the other groups are output, however).

           The "text generation flags" are a bit-coded field with the
           following bit meanings:

                Flag bit value                Meaning
                       2        Text is backwards (mirrored in X)
                       4        Text is upside down (mirrored in Y)
