Group codes Description

2

Style name

70

Standard flag values (bit-coded values):
1 = If set, this entry describes a shape.
4 = Vertical text.
16 = If set, table entry is externally dependent on an xref.
32 = If this bit and bit 16 are both set, the externally dependent xref has been successfully resolved.
64 = If set, the table entry was referenced by at least one entity in the drawing the last time the drawing was edited. (This flag is for the benefit of AutoCAD commands. It can be ignored by most programs that read DXF files and need not be set by programs that write DXF files.)

40

Fixed text height; 0 if not fixed

41

Width factor

50

Oblique angle

71

Text generation flags:
2 = Text is backward (mirrored in X)
4 = Text is upside down (mirrored in Y)

4

A STYLE table item is also used to record shape file LOAD command requests. In this case the first bit (1) is set in the 70 group flags and only the 3 group (shape file name) is meaningful (all the other groups are output, however).
