ODA File Converter Support¶
Use an installed ODA File Converter for converting between different versions of .dwg, .dxb and .dxf.
Warning
Execution of an external application is a big security issue! Especially when the path to the executable can be altered.
To avoid this problem delete the ezdxf.addons.odafc.py
module.
The ODA File Converter has to be installed by the user, the application is available for Windows XP, Windows 7 or later, Mac OS X, and Linux in 32/64-bit RPM and DEB format.
At least at Windows the GUI of the ODA File Converter pops up on every call.
