Requisite Plug-in Functions

See CAD::Drawing::IO for a description of the plug-in architecture.

check_type

$type_over_ride = check_type($filename, $type);

Back-End Methods

These are called directly from CAD::Drawing::IO

load

$drw->load($filename, \%options);

save

This needs some work still.

$drw->save($filename, \%options);

Internal Methods

The back-end methods should definitely not be called directly, and these should not even be called from the backend code.

dwgtype

Returns the toolkit constants corresponding to some human-readable version and type names.

($type, $version) = dwgtype($type);
