Spec: ODA Open Design Specification for .dwg files v5.4.1, §20.1, §20.2, §20.3, §20.4.1, §20.4.2, §28, §29.

Sections and their state on main (2026-10-21)

Section State Code Note
§20.1 Common non-entity object format (p. 100) closes src/objects/modern.rs, src/object.rs Measured: EED, BL num_reactors, B no_xdictionary, B has_ds_binary_data (#40 documents the table path's difference).
§20.2 Common entity format (p. 101) closes src/common_entity.rs
§20.3 Object types (p. 104) closes src/object_type.rs
§20.4.1 Common Entity Data (p. 106) closes src/common_entity.rs Graphics-preview block (ARCHITECTURE §7f).
§20.4.2 Common Entity Handle Data (p. 107) closes src/common_entity.rs
§28 Extended Entity Data (EED) (p. 261) closes src/objects/xdata.rs
§29 Proxy entity graphics (p. 262) partial src/objects/proxy_entity.rs Carried as opaque bytes; not interpreted.

closes comes from the boundary checks on the local 19-file corpus (STATUS.md, 2026-08-30). It is re-measured on the public corpus in CI by the 0.2.0 measurement epic, and no section is complete until its values equal AutoCAD's own DXF export.

Acceptance, for every section above

  • Every field of its prescription is read, with every version branch the section names
  • Where the section prints an example, its bytes are a committed fixture and decode to the values printed
  • The field list ends on the record's exact data-stream boundary (and string/handle-stream boundaries on R2007+) on every corpus record of the type, on every release band
  • Every value equals AutoCAD's DXF export of the same drawing, matched by handle (DXF group 5), with the scorer from the oracle epic
  • The corpus holds at least one record of the type on each release band, R13 to R2018; a band without one is recorded on the corpus epic, not assumed
  • Its row in docs/spec-coverage.md moves to complete, with the evidence linked

A subtask becomes its own issue when someone picks it up; that issue quotes the section's field list and names the corpus records it is measured on.
