The ImageGear.Vector Namespace provides native support for vector data as used by the following CAD/vector formats:

• CGM
• DGN
• DWF
• DWG
• DXF
• HPGL (HPGL/2)
• U3D
• SVG

To work with these formats, add them to ImageGear's global formats list, as follows:

ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearCGM.CreateCGMFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearDGN.CreateDGNFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearDWF.CreateDWFFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearCAD.CreateCADFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearHPGL.CreateHPGLFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearU3D.CreateU3DFormat());
ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearSVG.CreateSvgFormat());

Use ImageGear.Vector Namespace to manipulate and process CAD/Vector images.

When you load any of these formats, the resulting ImGearPage Class object is not automatically rasterized at load time. The data is kept in vector form for display and processing. It's possible to display the vector data from different viewpoints and edit individual vector entities. The vector data can also be rasterized, converting it to a bitmap form.
