Reading from only one layer.

[Tom Cumming]

I'd like to pull out entities from a specific layer. What is the best way to do this?

thx, tom.c

Oh, hold on a minute. There may be something wrong with my dxf file.

I have a dxf file with two layers, "0", and "gear". I tried:

>>> len(msp.query('*[layer=="0"]'))

40

>>> len(msp.query('*[layer=="gear"]'))

0

Then I created a dxf file using librecad with a circle in, "0", and a rectangle in, "gear", I get:

>>> len(msp.query('*[layer=="0"]'))

1

>>> len(msp.query('*[layer=="gear"]'))

1

Hmmm. May have answered my own question!
