I'm in the process of writing a DXF reader, and it's coming along.

However, I'd like to extract the information that AME embeds in the DXF
file.  The Autocad manual's description of DXF describes the "Extended
Entity Data", but doesn't go into specifics about the meaning of the various
groups that AME includes.  Neither does the AME manual.

Yes, I know I could create some sample drawings and eventually work it out.
However, if the information is available it would save me considerable time.

Anyone out there have any ideas?
