===========
 
AutoCAD DXF (.DXF)
 
   The AutoCAD DXF graphic import filter supports AutoCAD versions through
   version 12 (this includes AutoCAD for Windows support). AutoCAD version
   11 includes a feature that enables the user to place special borders
   around the drawing. When these borders are imported, the converter
   overlaps the borders and graphics. To import such drawings, remove the
   borders or send the file through the ADI plotter to a plot file, then
   import the resulting plot file directly.
 
   This filter has the following limitations:
 
   * Extrusions, which are related to 3-D entities, are not supported.
 
   * Control codes and special characters (except underlining) embedded in
     text shapes require special characters and are not supported.
 
   * DXF files requiring separate shape definition files are not
     supported.
 
   * For multiple viewport DXF files, the file is imported using the
     current viewport.
