Convert DXF file into PDF using Aspose.CAD for .NET

Aspose.CAD Product Family
1

Hello!

I would like to know if there is a way to convert a DWF file into PDF. I’ve found this documentation DWF Drawings|Documentation and tried to reproduce the same, but it says that the system is unable to read the dwf file.

The reason I am asking for this functionality is that, some users have IPAD and they want to see the drawings from it. Also there is no Autodesk Application supported for IOS. So I am trying to develop a web application to fulfill their requirements.

Does someone knows how to convert the DWF?

Thanks in advance.

@felipecomps,

I have observed your requirements and suggest you to please try using latest Aspose.CAD for .NET 18.3 on your end. If there is still an issue then please share the source DWF file causing issue on your end and we shall investigate that further.

Thanks for the reply @mudassir.fayyaz. I just tried the version 18.3 and the type DwfRasterizationOptions is no longer being recognized.
And, if I use CadRasterizationOptions instead, it throws the same error: “Unable to read dwf content”.

Also, debugging it, the problem lies on the Image.Load. Here’s what I have:

string MyDir = “C:\temp\”;
string fileName = MyDir + “2-1-406B.dwg.dwf”;

        var teste = Aspose.CAD.Image.CanLoad(fileName);

        using (Aspose.CAD.Image image = Aspose.CAD.Image.Load(fileName))
        {
            var pdfOptions = new PdfOptions();
            var dwfRasterizationOptions = new CadRasterizationOptions();
            pdfOptions.VectorRasterizationOptions = dwfRasterizationOptions;
            dwfRasterizationOptions.CenterDrawing = true;
            dwfRasterizationOptions.PageHeight = 500;
            dwfRasterizationOptions.PageWidth = 500;
            dwfRasterizationOptions.Layouts = new string[] { "Model" };
            // export
            string outPath = fileName + ".pdf";
            image.Save(outPath, pdfOptions);
        }

Hi,

I have a question on converting .dwf file to .pdf file by using C#/Asp.Net programming. Which version of Aspose.CAD .dll files should be used to convert .dwf version 00.06 (DWF V00.06) file to .pdf?

@Gkrao,

I suggest you to please try using latest Aspose.CAD for .NET 18.8 on your end. If there is still an issue, please feel free to share the information with us along with used sample code and source files.

Is there any timelines for this issue resolution? Actually we thought of purchasing license for this Aspose.CAD dll if the file conversion is happening successfully for old .dwf file?

Found issue that sounds the same with the CAD 18.3 for Java - “com.aspose.cad.cadexceptions.ImageLoadException: Image Loading Failed”.
DWF attached.

I’m experiencing exactly the same issue. Any solutions yet? Can we use an older version of the Aspose.CAD to get around the issue? I’m using 18.8.0.0
