QUESTION
Trying to open a dxf file format (actual project in C++), I could understand the basic structure of the file, but I can't manage to find how a cube is actually represented.
For a cube in CAD, I expect at least 9 values:
- X Y Z position
- A B C rotation
- W H D size of the cube
I expect X, Y, Z, A, B and C to be in the ENTITY section,
But Looking at example files, I see many settings, the preview image (taking a significant space in the file), layouts, etc.. But nothing that I can match to how the cube is actually build.
Question:How to represent/read a cube in a dxf file?
More infoHere is the documentation about the file format:

Here is an example of file with a cube (created with BricsCAD). Unfortunately, I can't embed the file, as it is too big. The "cube" is of 20mm x 25mm x 30mm.

I checked LibreCAD source-code, but it does not manage 3D models. Also, libdxfrw library is too generic (it just call the interface callback with the full Entity data).

ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jul-06 at 12:59This cube is embedded binary ACIS data (3DSOLID) and can not be interpreted without the libraries from Spatial Inc. For more information see my answer to another question: How I can parse nurbs surface from dxf file? Or do you know library(for js, if exists or any other language) for parsing it?
EDIT: Find binary data of ACIS entities
Starting with R2013/AC1027 Modeler Geometry of ACIS data is stored in the section ACDSDATA
in a ACDSRECORD
these records have no handle, instead they have an ID. The record of your 3DSOLID starts at line 22393 and has the ID 10:
