CAD Export VCL description

CAD Export VCL allows export by two methods: fast method - via a metafile and high precision direct method.

Direct export

Direct export is more complicated method which allows to get DXF, PLT/HPGL, CGM, PDF and SVG files with high precision. For your convenience we have implemented new direct export conception: creation of TsgCADImage object, its entities and export using one of TsgCADtoXXX classes (where XXX is output format). CADExportDemo is a demo project that shows creation of the TsgCADImage object, its entities and direct export to the one of the supported file formats.

Export via metafile

Export via a metafile allows to create DXF files automatically. This is a quick and convenient method for adding DXF export functionality to your application. All you need is to draw image using Windows GDI functions onto Windows Metafile DC and give it to the Exporter. DXFExporter reads Windows Metafile structure and makes DXF automatically. For the best translation from applications please make metafile in 00.1 mm mode and use XP_USE01MM flag. DXFExporter is a demo project that shows export to DXF file format via a metafile or directly. Direct export in DXFExporter demo uses old methods from TsgDXFExport class. This mode of direct export is obsolete. We recommend direct export based on inner image entities using. See example in CADExportDemo.
