How to add hierarchical data structure. #363

Open RodionNikolaev opened 2 years ago

I have a hierarchical data structure from the SVG file. The root group contains a line and the second child group with circle and polyline

Group
- Line
- Group
- Group
- Cirlce
- Polyline

I can't use the AddEntity method because the Group class is inherited from TableObject instead of EntityObject. Also, I can't set the Owner property for elements.

Please, could you explain how to map this structure to the DXF document?

You cannot. Groups can only contain entities and not other groups. On the other hand an entity can belong to multiple groups.
