dxf2elmt

dxf2elmt is CLI program which can convert .dxf files into QElectroTech .elmt files. The program supports both ascii and binary .dxf files.

The goal of this program is to create a fast and accurate conversion tool to be used with QElectroTech.

How to Use

dxf2elmt requires only one input from the user, the input file.

For example:

./dxf2elmt my_file.dxf

The .elmt file will be output into the same directory as the executable. It will retain the name of the .dxf file.

If you wish to forgo creating an .elmt file, you can use the "-v" argument for verbose output. This will output the contents of the .elmt file to stdout without actually creating the file. For example:

./dxf2elmt my_file.dxf -v
