The structure comprises a Header section, followed by sections containing data on Classes, Tables, Blocks, Entities and, optionally, thumbnail images. Each section contains a series of data elements. each preceded by a group code tag, which indicates the type of data element. ASCII DXF version 2004-2006 is the version of the format associated with Releases 2004, 2005 and 2006 of the AutoCAD family of software products.
