Hi Aravind,


Thank you for contacting Aspose support.

In reference to question 1), we have noticed that the latest version of Aspose.Imaging for .NET 2.5.0 was unable to load your provided DWG files into an instance of Image for conversion. We have logged two tickets (one for each DWG sample) into our bug tracking system to further investigate the problem cause. Please find the ticket details as follow:

  • IMAGING-34316: EWKC0074.DWG
  • IMAGING-34315: BLDGPLAN.DWG

We are working on the other parts of your inquiry (related to Aspose.Pdf API), and we will shortly get back to you with updates in that regard.

Please use new DOM approach to convert Image to PDF.

I am afraid I am unable to open your shared PDF file, it seems it is corrupt. However, I have tested the scenario with new new DOM approach for the conversion without any problem.

I am afraid I am unable to open the share PDF file for question, it seems it is corrupt. However, Please note you have to separately instantiate license object for every API. For example you need to instantiate license object of Aspose.Pdf API before instantiating any other object of Aspose.Pdf.

Aspose.Email.License licenseEmail = new Aspose.Email.License();

licenseEmail.SetLicense(licPath + "Aspose.Total.lic");

Aspose.Pdf.License licensePdf = new Aspose.Pdf.License();

licensePdf.SetLicense(licPath + "Aspose.Total.lic");

Aspose.BarCode.License licenseBarCode = new Aspose.BarCode.License();

licenseBarCode.SetLicense(licPath + "Aspose.Total.lic");

Aspose.Words.License licenseWords = new Aspose.Words.License();

licenseWords.SetLicense(licPath + "Aspose.Total.lic");

Aspose.Cells.License licenseCells = new Aspose.Cells.License();

licenseCells.SetLicense(licPath + "Aspose.Total.lic");

Aspose.Slides.License licenseSlides = new Aspose.Slides.License();

licenseSlides.SetLicense(licPath + "Aspose.Total.lic");

Please use new DOM approach and share the results, it will resolve the issue. If you still find any issue then please share your sample code for further investigation.

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Hi Aravind,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please note Aspose.Pdf uses system memory for processing, it does not create any temporary files for the purpose. So processing time depends upon the system resources and content/size of the files.

Moreover in reference to output PDF file size you have to set page Width/Height size as suggest in your other post. Hopefully it will help.

Hi Aravind,


Aspose.Imaging for .NET API currently supports for reading & converting AutoCAD 2004 DWG (version 16.0 Release 18) format only. Moreover, the support for AutoCAD primitive types is limited as outlined here. If you are getting partial rendering, the most probable reason would be that the particular drawing uses some primitives that are not supported at the moment. If Aspose.Imaging for .NET API is unable to load a DWG file (and throws an exception), that particular format may not be supported.

Please note, we are already working to gradually enhance the capabilities of Aspose.Imaging APIs by implementing other most recent DWG formats. With future releases, we are planning to deliver the support for binary & 2010 DWG formats.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Aravind,


We are currently working to provide the support for AutoCAD version 2010. These enhancements will be published with the release of Aspose.Imaging for .NET 2.7.0, that is scheduled for the first quarter of October 2014. The support for AutoCAD version 2011 is scheduled for December 2014.

Please feel free to write back in case you have further concerns.

Hi Aravind,


This is to update you regarding the tickets logged earlier in reference to DWG to PDF conversion. Please find the details as follow.

  • IMAGING-34315: The sample BLDGPLAN.DWG has the AutoCAD 2000 data format that is currently not supported by Aspose.Imaging API. We are investigating the possibility to support this format with future releases, and we will keep you posted with updates in this regard. For now, we have enhanced the exception handling to throw appropriate messages when unsupported data formats are fed to Aspose.Imaging API.
  • IMAGING-34316: The sample EWKC0074.DWG corresponds to an ancient AutoCAD version - Release 10 (October 1988). We can not support this format as we don’t have the documentation explaining the data format structure for this revision of DWG. If you wish to process this sample with Aspose.Imaging API, you have to upgrade the DWG format to the version supported at the moment.

Please feel free to write back in case you have any concerns or questions.
