DXF origin
DXF origin
(OP)
Newbie question, I'm learning .DXF format on the fly.
I'm attempting to create a .dxf export from a MFC application. MFC by default places the origin at the top left (so y increments downward). Is there a way of setting this type of view in the .dxf file, and if so how?

thanks for your time!

yet in a dxf file the origin is of course at the BOTTOM left, so position 5,3 would be here:

I'm succesfully exporting what is drawn in an mfc app into dxf but since Y increase downard in mfc and upwards in dxf the drawing is basically flipped along it's x axis. How do I identify in a dxf file that I want the origin in the top left instead of bottom right?
I'm not an autocad user so I'm not recognizing much of the terms they use in their help when describing all the commands. It's likely something I need to set in the HEADER section of the dxf file?
