Options
- Cdf: fields separated by commas; texts in single quotes and numbers with a leading space, like AutoCAD.
- Sdf: fixed-width columns (texts left-aligned and numbers right-aligned).
- Dxf: a DXF with the references and their blocks (the AutoCAD DXX only carries the references and their attributes).
