9 months ago You're correct that the Thickness property is not on the DxfEllipse class, but it sounds like that property isn't what you're looking for. In a DXF file, an entity's thickness isn't how thick or thin the line is, rather it's more like an elevation, or how tall it is.
If you're looking to modify how thick the entity is drawn on the screen or paper then you likely want to use the LineweightEnumValue property. This value is described under code 370 here. The value is a short that corresponds to the width of the line in milimeters * 100, e.g., a value of 25 means 0.25mm. N.b., the LineweightEnumValue property is only honored on DXF R2000 or newer files, so if you're using this library to create a file you'll have to do something like this:
DxfFile dxf = new DxfFile();
dxf.Header.Version = DxfAcadVersion.R2000;
// ...
DxfEllipse ellipse = new DxfEllipse(...);
ellipse.LineweightEnumValue = 75; // 0.75mm
// ...
dxf.Entities.Add(ellipse);
// ...
dxf.Save("path/to/file.dxf");

Hello! I'm using the IxMilia.Dxf-nuget and i wondered, why the stroke of the ellipse is thicker. It looks like the property thickness is missing in the DxfEllipse? Then i was looking at the source on github and the whole class is missing here? (src/IxMilia.Dxf/Entities) Can you help me?
