GroupDocs.Conversion provides CadLoadOptions to give you control over how the source CAD document will be processed. The following options could be set:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Format | The source document type is auto-detected, but you could set the source document format explicitly with this property. Available options are: Dxf, Dwg, Dgn, Dwf, Stl, Ifc, Plt, Igs, Dwt |
| BackgroundColor | Specifies the background color for a CAD document. |
| DrawType | Specifies the type of drawing of a CAD document. |
| Width | Sets the desired page width |
| Height | Sets the desired page height |
| LayoutNames | Specifies which CAD layout to be converted |
The following code snippet shows how to convert a CAD document and convert only certain layouts:
With v24.10 and later:
Func<LoadContext, LoadOptions> getLoadOptions = loadContext => new CadLoadOptions
{
LayoutNames = new []{ "Layout1", "Layout3" }
};
using (Converter converter = new Converter("with_layers_and_layouts.dwg", getLoadOptions))
{
PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
converter.Convert("converted.pdf", options);
}
Before v24.10:
Func<LoadOptions> getLoadOptions = () => new CadLoadOptions
{
LayoutNames = new []{ "Layout1", "Layout3" }
};
using (Converter converter = new Converter("with_layers_and_layouts.dwg", getLoadOptions))
{
PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
converter.Convert("converted.pdf", options);
}
The following code snippet shows how to convert a CAD document and specify its desired background color:
With v24.10 and later:
Func<LoadContext, LoadOptions> getLoadOptions = loadContext => new CadLoadOptions
{
BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.White
};
using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.dwg", getLoadOptions))
{
PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
converter.Convert("converted.pdf", options);
}
Before v24.10:
Func<LoadOptions> getLoadOptions = () => new CadLoadOptions
{
BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.White
};
using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.dwg", getLoadOptions))
{
PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
converter.Convert("converted.pdf", options);
}
