How to use .pc3 (or .ctb) files in ASPOSE.CAD (.Net)

[IP1]

Hello, community, right now I’m generating Jpgs and Pngs from a dwl file, but ASPOSE.CAD is not taking into consideration the format files.
Right now I’m assigning the file I want to use this way:

Pc3File = “myfile.pc3”

but the output is not affected in any means by it.
what am I doing wrong?
where is the documentation about this topic?
is it mentioned here as a feature: https://docs.aspose.com/cad/net/aspose-cad-for-net-20-11-release-notes/
but the link seems to be broken.

any help is greatly apreciated.

Please consider following code snippet. May you kindly check whether an absolute path to your pc3 file is correctly formed?

        string fileName = "TestFile";
        string filePc3Name = "Pc3File";
        string file = this.GetFilePath(string.Format("{0}.dwg", fileName));
        string outFile = this.GetFilePath(string.Format("{0}.pdf", fileName));
        string filePc3 = this.GetPc3FilePath(string.Format("{0}.pc3", filePc3Name));
        using (FileStream inStream = new FileStream(file, FileMode.Open))
        using (Image image = Image.Load(inStream))
        using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(outFile, FileMode.Create))
        {
            ImageOptionsBase options = new PdfOptions();
            options.VectorRasterizationOptions = new CadRasterizationOptions();
            options.Pc3File = filePc3;
            image.Save(stream, options);
        }

GetPc3FilePath

Hello Denis,

I’ve tried with relative paths and absolute paths, same result.
I do not have the GetPc3FilePath method, where is it located?

GetPc3FilePath is a mnemonic name - means you use your own logic to obtain correct path.
May you kindly provide your source files (both dwg and pc3) - we will try to reproduce on our side
