DXF array

MATRIX Array Level: 1

The DXF array imports a DXF file. DXF files are unitless. That means if a DXF file has a line entity with coordinates (0,0) to (10,10) what units were used? Was that line drawn referencing "Inches", "Millimeters", "microns". DXF says nothing about units, so during import you must specify which "units" your DXF was drawn with so it will know how to correctly import it.

Fields in the DXF array

	Description
FILE	Path to the DXF file. The path may be either Absolute or Relative.
units=UNIT	DXF Files are unitless. Choose DXF file units from: inch, mil, millimeter, micron (default: millimeter)
scale=VALUE	Assign a Scale factor to use during DXF Import. Optional. (default: 1.0)
fill_closed_boundaries	All closed boundaries will be filled solid.
flash_round_rectangle	Assign a Flash for round rectangle pads. Saves data size.
join_lines_arcs	Joins adjacent lines and arcs.
deembed_polygons	Controls polygon-inside-of-polygon polarity.
IgnoreByBlock	Keep 0-layer for entities in insert.
IgnoreHatch	Ignore hatches in DXF.
IgnoreDimensions	Ignore dimentions in DXF.
MergeAllLayers	Merge all layers to one.
widepaths=TYPE	Output polylines with width as types: Default, Round, Polygon.
maxflashsize=SIZE	Maximum flash size in millimeter (default: 6)
default_line_width=SIZE	Default line-width in millimeter (default: 0.2)
default_text_line_width	Text line-width in millimeter (default: 0.2).
text_line_width_ratio	Text width ratio per height (default: 10).
blocks_filter=BLOCKS	Assign specific DXF blocks to import. Must be comma separated. (default: empty string thus all blocks are loaded).
layers_filter=LAYERS	Assign specific DXF layers to import. Must be comma separated. (default: empty string thus all layers are loaded).

Example: DXF Array

DXF{
   FILE=MergeFolder/pcb2311.dxf
   UNITS=millimeter
   SCALE=1
   fill_closed_boundaries
   flash_round_rectangle
   IgnoreHatch
   MaxFlashSize=8
}

XML example:

<DXF>
   <FILE>MergeFolder/pcb2311.dxf</FILE>
   <UNITS>millimeter</UNITS>
   <SCALE>1</SCALE>
   <fill_closed_boundaries/>
   <flash_round_rectangle/>
   <IgnoreHatch/>
   <MaxFlashSize>8</MaxFlashSize>
</DXF>

JSON example:

"DXF": {
  "FILE": "MergeFolder/pcb2311.dxf",
  "UNITS": "millimeter",
  "SCALE": 1,
  "fill_closed_boundaries": "",
  "flash_round_rectangle": "",
  "IgnoreHatch": "",
  "MaxFlashSize": 8
