hi everyone!!!

I am working on this project of mine where i would like to take a 2d dxf file, modify it in visual basic 6 and then save it as another dxf file.

now i am sure this has been done before but i just can't find and good leads.

I am reading the DXF manual by Autocad at present, but if anyone has any know how on this subject let me know please.

some code would be great, just somthing that would let me understand the basic concept would be nice, but i will take whatever comments or code that is out there!!!!
Cheers :cheers:

The Autodesk docs should have everything you need. You can also open most .dxf's in Notepad and see how they are organized. Start with very simple ones and work your way up. They're basically just text files.
