How to modify dimension values of a DXF and generate DXF modified

Aspose.CAD Product Family
1

Hello!

I have a DXF file to which I want to modify some dimensions and then generate a DXF file with theses changes (not an image or a PDF).
Is this possible with ASPOSE.CAD for .NET? If it is possible, can you give me an example, please?

I ask this question about the write feautres, because in this link: NuGet Gallery | Aspose.CAD 23.9.0
In the documentation, there is a section like this:

‘’<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Read & Write
CAD: DXF
(Write features is partially supported.)
‘’<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I have questions about “write features is partially supported”. What are the limitations?

I hope you can help me, thank you!

Hello, @mudassir.fayyaz

I need to load AutoCAD DXF files and make changes in it and save it again as a DXF file.

Now I know that it’s possible:

Then, I made some entities updates. But when I open the modified DXF I can’t see those changes.

This is the code that I am using to modify and save the DXF

        using (var dxfFile = (CadImage) Image.Load(dxfFileStream))
        {
            foreach (var entity in dxfFile.Entities)
            {
                if (entity.TypeName != CadEntityTypeName.DIMENSION) 
                    continue;
                
                var dimension = (CadDimensionBase) entity;

                foreach (var variable in processedVariables)
                {
                    var baseVariable = variable.Variable;
                    foreach (var position in baseVariable.Positions)
                    {
                        if (!Equals(position.X, dimension.MiddleTextLocation.X) ||
                            !Equals(position.Y, dimension.MiddleTextLocation.Y)) continue;

                        dimension.Text = variable.Value.ToString(); //HERE I MODIFY THE ENTITY
                        
                    }

                }
            }

            dxfFile.Save("conic.dxf");

This is the DXF I am using:
EP_EKU_Combino 20 H (FS)_0419_A.zip (365.1 KB)

Thanks for your help!

The DXF files that you have shared are complex diagrams. Can you please possibly share the snapshot of two DXF files and highlight the difference between actual and expected DXF files.
