- Had four of my wisdom teeth extracted. The progress for the following week may be slow due to teeth extraction.

- Rest.
May 19th
- Looking at Coin3D/Dime code base, a possible library for DXF import/export.
- It has no external dependency.
- It supports all past and should support future version of DXF format.
- It compiles on Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc.
- But it only loads DXF files into Dime object hierarchies and saves Dime object hierarchies as files conforming to DXF format.
- Seems only support 3D.
May 20th
- Looking at BRL-CAD DXF import/export code. Trying to understand how it works and see if it is suitable for OpenSCAD.
- It converts DXF format to .g and .g to DXF which is a BRL-CAD format.
May 21th
- QCAD is using a nice DXF library, dxflib, but it only supports 2D which is not ideal since OpenSCAD is already supporting 2D.
- Not sure how hard it is to add the 3D part.
