Aspose.CAD supports reading several CAD file formats. Given that the CAD file formats are complex and are of different prevalence, Aspose.CAD has different level of support for them. In this article I will describe the current (as of v. 18.8 to v. 18.11) level of support for them.

In AutoCAD workflow, there is concept of separate model and paper spaces. In model space, you create entities as they should physically appear, with real-world dimensions etc. To create an printable drawing, you switch to paper space and create layouts which contain viewports that display different views of model space, and various annotations. Here dimensions correspond to dimensions you’ll see in actual paper print. Model space is accessible from Model tab, and paper space is accessible from layout tabs.

Aspose.CAD allows some control over rasterization of CAD files to raster images and PDF files. Let’s see what’s possible with them.

Aspose.CAD supports export of 3D entities from AutoCAD and STL files. For other formats, there is currently (as of 18.8) no support for 3D entities.

Hello, in this article I’m going to list what distinguishes Aspose.CAD from other similar software and generally about it’s interesting features.

A new version of Aspose.CAD, designated 18.6 is soon to be released. Here are the most important changes:

Aspose.CAD allows one to render a DWG file to raster image with a font other than specified in the file.

In this part I will again continue to describe Aspose.CAD features specific to DWG\DXF files, as these file formats are the most common use for Aspose.CAD.

In this part I will continue to describe Aspose.CAD features specific to DWG\DXF files, as these file formats are the most common use for Aspose.CAD.

Most cases when Aspose.CAD has to be used are probably associated with AutoCAD’s files, such as DWG and DXF format. As such, I’m going to describe how can Aspose.CAD work with DWG and DXF formats.

If you’re willing to use full version of Aspose.CAD API, you’ll need to apply your license in your software that uses Aspose.CAD library. In this article I’ll show how to do this. It’s simple!

Aspose.CAD is a standalone software library for .Net and Java platforms that reads CAD files such as DWG, DXF, DNG, IFC, STL files and can export their contents to PDF files and raster images. It requires no additional software to work - no need for AutoCAD or ReadDWG, it works by itself.

Besides two new features I’ve already covered in articles, such as: New option to set default line caps and Exporting particular entities from CAD files, Aspose.CAD 18.3 also has the following new features:

Sometimes need arise to export only some particular entities from a CAD file. It may not be obvious how to do this. However, in reality it is a very simple thing to do with Aspose.CAD for .NET. The method described in this article works for DWG, DXF and STL files.

Aspose.CAD for .NET is a library that allows conversion of CAD files, for example, AutoCAD DWG and DXF files, to PDF and Raster images, without use of AutoCAD or any other software.
