# dxftopov(1)

convert DXF line entities to POV-ray script

## NAME

dxftopov - convert DXF line entities to POV-ray script

## SYNOPSIS

**dxftopov** *filename.dxf filename.pov*

## DESCRIPTION

DXFtoPOV is a short utility which converts DXF line entities to POV-ray script. This is useful when using a CAD program to modify a DXF file. The modified DXF file can then be rendered using POV-ray.

## NOTES

This program does not currently eliminate redundant connections so that the script files end up a bit larger than they should. Also it may not be able to handle some non-DOME produced DXF files. The author plans to address these issues in a future release.
