Every wire was written in the default colour, whatever its colour on the
folio: 723 of the 3,190 wires in the example projects (23 %, in 10
projects) lost theirs. The wire outline now takes the wire's colour, and
its number the wire's text colour, mapped to the nearest DXF colour as
the free texts already are. Black still comes out as BYLAYER.
A two-colour wire gets its main colour, and dashed wires (46 in the
examples) stay continuous: DXF line types are not written yet.
Checked on the 24 example projects, 133 folios: exactly 723 wire
outlines now carry a colour of their own, the only change from the
previous commit; ezdxf reads all files with no audit errors.

Everything in an exported DXF was on layer 0, and the file had no LAYER
table: in a CAD program the border, title block, symbols, wires and texts
could not be hidden, printed or recoloured separately. Each kind of
content now has its own layer, declared in a LAYER table (white/black,
continuous, so the file looks the same on opening):
QET_BORDER, QET_TITLEBLOCK, QET_SYMBOLS, QET_SYMBOL_TEXTS,
QET_TERMINALS, QET_WIRES, QET_WIRE_NUMBERS, QET_JUNCTIONS, QET_TEXTS,
QET_XREFS, QET_SHAPES, QET_TABLES, QET_IMAGES
Fixed, untranslated names, so layer filters and scripts work in any
language. Createdxf gets a current layer beside its xScale/yScale;
DxfExport sets it before each kind of content, and BorderTitleBlock
switches to the title block layer itself. No DXF version change: layers
exist in R10.
Checked on the 24 example projects, 133 folios: with the layer values
set back to 0 and the LAYER table removed, every file is byte-identical
to before; no entity is on an undeclared layer or left on 0; ezdxf reads
all of them with no audit errors.

qelectrotech --export-dxf <project.qet> <output_dir> [--show-terminals]
writes one DXF per folio, named <NN>_<title>.dxf like the PNG and SVG
exports. Discussion #1072.
The DXF code moves out of ExportDialog into DxfExport, unchanged except
that its options come from an ExportProperties argument instead of the
dialog. The dialog and the command line both call it, and the command
line uses the dialog's default options (the preferences' export
settings), so both write the same entities.
- Createdxf answers a file it cannot open with a message box and
exit(0); the command line checks the file first and fails with a
message and exit code 1 instead.
- A note is printed when pictures become outline boxes, as the dialog
warns.
- Scripting: qet.exportDxf(outDir, showTerminals). MCP: format "dxf".
