DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is commonly used in engineering and design apps. This file format is not much lightweight as compared to other modern formats such as SVG which is an XML based file format. SVG (Scalar Vector Graphics) is smoothly rendered without compromising on the image quality. However, in this blog post we will go through how to convert DXF to SVG in a .NET application. The implementation process is going to be pretty smooth and developer-friendly. So, let’s develop a DXF to SVG converter in C# by using some of the prominent methods exposed by Aspose.CAD for .NET
Aspose.CAD for .NET - Installation
Please set up Aspose.CAD for .NET by downloading the SDK files or run the following command in your Package Manager Console:
Install-Package Aspose.CAD
Develop a DXF to SVG Converter in C# - Code Sample
The implementation process is quite simple. Just follow the steps mentioned below:
- Load the source DXF file by calling the load method.
- Create an object of CadRasterizationOptions class.
- Define page width & height.
- Instantiate an instance of the SvgOptions for the resultant SVG image.
- Set rasterization options.
- Save resultant image as SVG file by calling the Save method.
