Since my last post, I have found what I think is a better method at extracting taxiways data from an airport diagram. Instead of converting the file to DXF, I have converted it to SVG. Since SVG is in XML format, I was able to do some grepping, and produce each of the followings in less than a minute.

Since I grepped by color, I wasn't able to differentiate buildings from non-buildings. http://www.cs.yorku.ca/~cs233144/others_cyyz.svg http://www.cs.yorku.ca/~cs233144/others_ksfo.svg In anycase, this new method cuts down the work by half. I also think that SVG is an excellent format to work with. So, I will continue my experiment using this format.
