[PythonCAD] Call for test cases DWG files

[gertwin.groen at gmail.com]

QCad is a good source for dxf files, it uses dxf as it native file format.

I will try to get some test files in the next few days.
I will make the same files for R12, R16 (acad 2004-2006), R17 (acad  
2007-2009) and R18 (acad 2010) dxf and dwg format and a export to a raster  
file.

What do you think how important is the dxf import module?
How important is a near 100% correct import of (2d) dxf files?
Is there need for a export module?


Regards,
Gertwin
