List DXF files available under a directory, relative to the configured root.

Describe one drawing: DXF version, units, layer and block counts, entity mix.

Call this first. It is cheap, and it tells you which of the other tools is worth calling on this file.

List every layer in a drawing with its colour, linetype, state and entity count.

Extract a bill of materials from block insertions and their attributes.

Each placed block becomes a row and each attribute tag becomes a column, which is the shape drawing data has to be in before it can reach an ERP or a PLM record. Pass block to restrict the extract to one block name.

Check a drawing against drafting standards.

Reports missing required layers, forbidden layers and wrong units as errors, and empty layers as warnings. passed reflects errors only, so a drawing with warnings still passes.

Search TEXT, MTEXT and block attributes for a substring, case-insensitively.

Useful for locating a part number or a revision note when you do not yet know which block or layer it lives on.
