From Nekoware

Dime is a C++ class library for reading, constructing, manipulating, and writing DXF file data. The name is an acronym for DXF Import, Manipulation, and Export library.

The library is portable to any platform with a C++ compiler. It has no external dependencies. Dime is known to compile on Win32, Linux, IRIX, HP- UX, Solaris, BeOS and MacOS.

Features

   * loading DXF files into a Dime object hierarchy containing the DXF data
   * building Dime object hierarchies from scratch
   * extracting geometry data from Dime object hierarchies
   * manipulating Dime object hierarchies
   * traversing the Dime object hierarchies while performing various tasks saving dime object hierarchies as files conforming to the DXF file format

Dime is designed to support all past and future versions of the DXF file format. Internally we have tested dime with DXF version 10 through 14, and we've had customers that have used the library to handle AutoCAD 2000 DXF files.

[edit] Installing the package

Download and install the neko_dime-0.9 (version 1) tardist package from the Nekoware repository.

Installation of the precompiled binary package can be achieved using either Software Manager or inst: In the case of inst, all that's required is the command:

~ $ inst -f /path/to/neko_dime-0.9.tardist
install all
keep *.opt.src
go
quit

You will need "root" privileges to install the software.
