CAD Tutorials

Our CAD tutorials show how to create a new ImageGear project using the CAD component:

ImageGear.Formats.CAD Namespace

The ImageGear.Formats.CAD namespace allows you to load, save, and process CAD files. It also allows the rasterization of DWG, DXF, and DGN files, by converting them to bitmaps, and provides you with the ability to convert the file into SVG or PDF format. Both rasterization and conversion output will maintain any changes made to the CADCamera associated with the ImGearCADPage.

To enable the ImageGear.Formats.CAD Namespace in your project, specify the following directive:

C#
Copy Code
using ImageGear.Formats.CAD;
VB.NET
Copy Code
Imports ImageGear.Formats.CAD

CAD Dependencies

NuGet packages make it easy to add, remove, and update libraries and tools in Visual Studio projects that use the .NET Framework. See NuGet Packages for more information.

CAD Object Lifetime

All CAD objects that require disposal handle disposal within their destructor. Therefore, users should not need to worry about calling Dispose whenever they want to clean up after they’re done using a CAD object. However, it is generally good practice to do so.
