Main Features

Currently lx-viewer can perform the following command line actions using a separate command line utility:

• Batch convert DWG to DXF (seperate command line utility)
• Batch convert DXF to DWG

Extra options can be added as file support in the program is increased:

• Batch convert to other formats
• Incorporate the command line utility into the main program

Now complete

• GUI command replication in command interface (aka AutoCAD)
• Internal command line aliasing
• External command line command replication (eg batch conversion etc)

The majority of viewing options are already implemented in Lx-viewer.
