CAD Import .NET

CAD Import .NET is multipurpose software with wide scope of use, which is necessary for developing of applications in vast range of industrial sectors, such as mechanical engineering, building, circuit technology, cartography and analytic systems, where it is neccesary to work with CAD file formats such as DWG, DXF, PLT (HPGL), SVG, CGM and others.

CAD Import .NET is a powerful tool that allows any developer to create off-the-shelf solution in those areas, where processing, displaying and saving of vector graphics are required.

The main advantage of CAD Import .NET is the possibility for smart CAD developing in Microsoft Visual Studio. CAD Import .NET contains managed code only and displays drawings with GDI+ methods.

MS Studio .NET + CAD Import .NET + CAD drawing = high quality software

To define practical application of CAD Import .NET the following aspects should be distinguished:

1. CAD Import .NET allows to establish liaison between CAD documentation and DBMS;

2. CAD Import .NET allows to implement full-scale analysis of the drawings and to develop vector graphics document management system;

3. CAD Import .NET is irreplaceable in monitoring systems developing.

In addition this library will come in handy for web developers.

CST company takes into account the wishes of the programmers who work with its libraries. CAD Import .NET is aimed at solving of the wide range of specific targets, e.g. amount and cost calculation for the necessary equipment by its drawings, selecting any object of the drawing and getting information about it in necessary form. CAD Import .NET is irreplaceable in developing of the software for industrial equipment, e.g. for CNC machines.

CAD Import .NET is released two versions: Professional and Standard.

Standard version contains basic functionality for working with CAD files, raster images and metafiles.

Professional version includes extended functional for visual entities creating, editing by markers, snap and other methods, which implement full editing functional.


Changes

  • Functional for visual entities creating and editing by markers was added.
  • Snap was added.
  • Entities serialization was added.
  • ACADTable object support was added.
  • CADViewerControl and CADEditorControl controls are added.
  • Support of web paths and loading from web was added.
  • Easy-to-use source code of the demo applications.

Format features

  • Multi pages HPGL files are supported.
  • MPOLYGON is supported for DWG file format.
  • DWG and DXF Layouts.
  • Quick and exact reading of DXF and DWG files and drawing them using Windows GDI+ methods.
  • Supports DWG and DXF reference images.
  • Supports DWG/DXF entities.
  • Supports saving files as *.dxf.
  • Supports Gerber files (*.gbr file format).
  • Supports Windows Metafiles (WMF/EMF).
  • Supports converting DWG and DXF to Windows Metafiles WMF/EMF and raster images.
  • Supports raster formats: *.bmp,*.jpg, *.jpeg,*.tiff, *.gif and *.ico.

Control features

  • Full control of every layer and all elements.
  • High speed for reading all formats.
  • UNICODE support allows viewing Japanese, Chinese, Korean and other hieroglyphs.
  • Full control of every layer and any element of it.
  • Layouts selection.
  • Entities visibility.
  • SHX fonts for DWG and DXF file formats.
  • DXF Autocad Table.
  • DWG and DXF reference images.

Navigation features

  • Easy and smart scaling and image dragging.
  • Supporting three-dimensional coordinates.
  • 2D rotation, printing and zooming for raster images.
  • 3D support including nested extrusions.

Compatible features

  • Compatible with all versions of AutoDesk DXF.
  • Compatible with AutoDesk DWG Release 2.5 - 2009.
  • Fully compatible with C#, VB.NET and other MS Visual Studio programming environments.
The package consists of:
  • Executable files of demo applications, the Viewer or Import Library (Depends on the order, the Viewer library is offered by default) - CADImport.dll.
  • Documentation for demo applications and the library.
  • The source code of the demo applications.
  • AddEntityDemo – the source code of the demo application that demonstrates a process of new entities adding to the existing open DXF or DWG file; this application uses the Import library and offered in the reduced form – executable file and the code of the Application without the library code (the Import library is needed for compiling the application).
  • ImportDemo – the source code of the application that demonstrates the access to the properties of the loaded entities; this application also requires the Import library and by default offered in the reduced form – executable file and the code of the application without the library code (the Import library is needed for compiling the application).
  • ViewerDemo – the source code of the demo application that demonstrates all possible ways of working with the library to display, print CAD files or export them into other formats.
  • ViewerControlDemo – the source code of the application that demonstrates how to work with the CADViewerControl control.
  • AspNetDemo – the source code of the application that demonstrates how to load and draw cad files in asp .NET application (application is developed in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005)
  • EditorDemo – the source code of the editor demo application (the CAD Import .NET Professional library is needed for using the full functional of this demo application). The application demonstrates how to work with the markers and snap functions.
  • EditorControlDemo – the source code of the application that demonstrates how to work with the CADEditorControl control.
