DXF is an open text format, so Fluxketch reads it directly — no server, no connection. It confirms the unit, corrects coordinates, and exports what you changed back to DXF.
DXF asks for its unit (mm, cm, m, inch, ft) on read and corrects coordinates in that unit. Correction is centered on the drawing, so drawings far from the origin land where they should. The true-scale ruler and plots use the same unit.
Lines, polylines, LW polylines, circles, arcs, ellipses, splines, text, mtext, dimensions, hatches, block inserts, multilines, 3D faces, leaders and the layer table (color, weight, linetype). Multileaders, wipeouts and regions are counted in the report.
Verified with ASCII DXF saved in AutoCAD 2000 or later formats. If a file won't open, send it to flux0720@fluxketch.com and we'll look.
Layers, colors, weights and linetypes. Markup ink and pins are stored inside the file as separate data in drawing coordinates and print into the plot PDF.
The file gate is 512 MiB, but the real decision is entity count against the device's free memory. DXFs of 1.4 million entities have opened; if one can't, the app says why.
Open it as an underlay, set the scale with two points and snap to the PDF's vector lines while drawing CAD on top. Export what you drew as DXF.
DWG opens through the conversion server as DXF (a connection is needed only on first open). See the DWG on iPad page.
Turn a layer off and the screen, snaps and plots all exclude it by the same rule. A locked layer stays visible but can't be selected or edited — the AutoCAD rule.
Pick it in the Files app and confirm the unit. No connection needed.
Draw with the twelve CAD tools and snaps; change color, weight and linetype in the layer panel.
DXF export in the More menu sends it back to office CAD.
