Hi,

While I was looking for DXF loader for Irrlicht, I found this patch at Hybrid website,

http://parsys.informatik.uni-oldenburg. ... /dxf.patch

Why does this patch never make it to the official release? Wondering whether it is still usable for the current version of Irrlicht. (Since this patch was created quite some time ago.)

Well, the support is only partial, and hence I never felt that this is really useful without some additions. It will probably require some minor changes, but should work in general.

Thanks Hybrid for the effort. Anyway, what are those extra "additions" that are missing? Like curve, circle entities, etc. in DXF I supposed?

Also, does your DXF loader draw the lines only, or it will fill them with solid colors?

IIRC the loader supports only faces, which are filled with correct colors. But all other stuff (including any line support) is missing.
