Write linetype_load linetype_load Write block_create_from_entities Create a new block definition from existing entities in the drawing. Write block_insert Insert a block and optionally set attribute values. Write block_set_attributes block_set_attributes Write construction_xline construction_xline Write dimension_aligned Create an aligned dimension that measures the true distance between two points.

If save is True (default), the drawing is Write drawing_export_dxf Export the current drawing as a DXF file. Write drawing_export_pdf Export the current drawing to PDF. Write drawing_redo Redo the last undone drawing operation. Write drawing_save Save the current drawing. Optionally specify a new path. Write drawing_save_as Save current drawing to a new path/format (DWG, DXF, or DWT template). Write drawing_undo Undo the last drawing operation. Write entity_array_rectangular entity_array_rectangular Write entity_batch_create Create multiple entities in a single call for better performance. Write entity_batch_modify entity_batch_modify Write entity_chamfer entity_chamfer Write entity_copy Copy an entity and move the copy by (dx, dy, dz). Returns info of the new copy.
