NAME

Draft::Drawing - CAD drawing type

SYNOPSIS

A directory that contains multiple drawing elements

DESCRIPTION

A simple file-system directory/folder that contains any number of drawing objects, represented by files; and optionally, any number of further drawings represented by subdirectories.

Note that this is not completely analogous to a traditional monolithic CAD file format, as blocks/symbols associated with a drawing are complete drawings in their own right.

USAGE

Read a drawing into memory, or simply update an already-loaded drawing by using the Read method:

$drawing->Read;

Note that this method will only access the filesystem if files have actually changed or are new - Feel free to call this method as often as you like as it has very little performance overhead.
