I think the angles in dxf are also measured in degrees.
It will eliminate useless calculations if we change it to radians.

Question for you, if we want PythonCAD to have the best dxf import as
possible what do we need to change in the internal data structures.
I am not only talking about entities, also block definitions, model-,
and paperspace objects, *style and layer tables etc.
For instance PythonCAD has no blocks yet, do translate each
blockreference into a set of PythonCAD entities or is the information
lost.
Also the AutoCAD vector fonts (standard, iso etc.) if we translate
them to true type fonts the will have a shorter or longer length with
all the related problem of overlapping other objects.

It is maybe for each one of us different but what are the minimum
requirements for a good dxf import routine?
For me at least the result of the import must be visible equal, no
loss of visible elements.

Any thoughts?
