## What it is
netDxf is a C# .NET library for reading and writing AutoCAD DXF files, supporting AutoCad2000 through AutoCad2018 versions in both text and binary formats. It provides a simple DxfDocument API that automatically handles tables, layers, styles, and line types when entities are added.

## Use cases
- read dxf files in c#
- write autocad dxf files programmatically
- generate cad drawings without autocad
- convert dxf files between autocad versions
- parse binary dxf files in .net
- create dxf documents with lines circles and polylines

## When to choose
- you need to read or write DXF files in a .NET application
- you want a simple API that manages DXF table sections automatically
- you need support for both text and binary DXF formats
- you work with AutoCad2000 through AutoCad2018 file versions

## When to avoid
- you need to work with DWG files instead of DXF
- you need dynamic blocks support
- you need a full CAD editor or viewer with a GUI
- you need DXF versions older than AutoCad2000

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: parser, file-system
- domain: files, developer-tools
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
