I have just spent a fair amount of time working on both DXF input and output
for my laser vector art application, LaserBoy. It can read a reasonable
subset of DXF entities {LINE, CIRCLE, ARC, ELLIPSE, POLYLINE, LWPOLYLINE and
TEXT} and it can write DXF in the form of LINE and POLYLINE. The reason it
only writes LINE and POLYLINE is because all laser vector art can be
expressed as only these things. I would guess that AutoTrace is similar in
this regard.

I can take a look at your project. I can't promise anything, because I have
not seen it yet. But I'll try to help.

I found this document to be very helpful.

This is my project.

Subject: [AutoTrace] Autotrace - dxf output


I am the maintainer and programmer of AutoTrace. A very long time I was not
able to develope AutoTrace any further because of lack of time. No I plan to
proceed. One thing I would like to fix is the dxf output filter but I do not
have enogh knowledge about this format. Can anyone of you help to fix it?

Greetings
Martin
