Hi,

I am able to read a dxf file but I want to change the position of drawing. Can you please help me out?

Thanks,

Akhil

Below is the code:

import ezdxf as ez

from ezdxf.groupby import groupby

doc = ez.readfile("AutoCad/pump_Grouped_1.dxf")

# iterate over all entities in modelspace

msp = doc.modelspace()

global wcs_location

group = msp.groupby(dxfattrib='layer')

for layer, entities in group.items():

for entity in entities:

dxf_Insert.append(entity.dxf.insert)

wcs_location = entity.ocs().to_wcs(entity.dxf.insert)

1. DXF entities do not have unified attributes, this means not all DXF entities have an attribute called "insert".

2. For many (but not all) entities ezdxf provides a transformation interface entity.transform(), unsupported entities raise NotImplementedError(). Use Matrix44.translate(x, y, z) to create a translation matrix.
