Summary

Question:
Is there any possibility to read/write comments in dxf-files (code 999). I found nothing related in your help-file.

Background:
It would be nice to save some specific data (as strings) in the drawing file to support automatic drawing features when reloading a file.

Solution

You cannot read/write comments in dxf files, VectorDraw do not support such feature.

Instead you can use the XProperties to add such comments for example in Layer "0".
