ezdxf is a Python package for creating, reading, modifying and writing DXF (AutoCAD) documents across DXF versions R12 through R2018, including ASCII and binary formats. It preserves third-party content, ships optional C-extensions for speed, and includes add-ons for rendering, streaming huge files, and a CLI for inspecting DXF files.

Use cases

• create dxf files programmatically in python
• read and edit autocad dxf drawings without losing content
• convert dxf files to png, pdf or svg images
• process huge dxf files larger than memory
• inspect and audit dxf files from the command line
• extract entities from cad drawings for analysis
• generate parametric dxf entities from python code

When to choose

• you need to programmatically create, edit or parse DXF files in Python
• you must preserve unknown third-party DXF tags when round-tripping documents
• you need to render or convert DXF drawings to images or vector formats
• you work with very large DXF files that don't fit in memory

When to avoid

• you need a GUI CAD editor rather than a programming library
• you need to write DWG files (ezdxf handles DXF only)
• you need read/write support for DXF versions older than R12
