You can use commands to import data of different formats to a drawing and to export a drawing to various formats.
To export a drawing or some part of it to a .bmp file, use the BMPOUT command (located at /Kernel/Exports/RasterExport). This module renders the drawing with a special graphic device, which is derived from the OdGsDevice class and provides a set of rendering properties listed in the following table.
| Property name | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Export borders | Active Layout | This property specifies what to export. You can either export data from the active layout or the extents of the active layout or block. |
| Bits per pixel | 24 | Number of bits to define one pixel. |
| Bitmap width | 2000 | Output width. |
| Bitmap height | 2000 | Output height. |
| Plot generation | On | Enables or disables plot generation. |
| Image name | Name of the output file. |
To export a drawing with a specified background color to a .bmp file, use the BMPOUTBG command (located at /Kernel/Exports/RasterExport). This module renders the drawing with a special graphic device, which is derived from the OdGsDevice class and provides a set of rendering properties listed in the following table.
| Property name | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Export borders | Active Layout | This property specifies what to export. You can either export data from the active layout or the extents of the active layout or block. |
| Bits per pixel | 24 | Number of bits to define one pixel. |
| Bitmap width | 2000 | Output width. |
| Bitmap height | 2000 | Output height. |
| Plot generation | On | Enables or disables plot generation. |
| Background R component | 255 | Specifies the R component of the RGB color model. |
| Background G component | 255 | Specifies the G component of the RGB color model. |
| Background B component | 255 | Specifies the B component of the RGB color model. |
| Image name | Name of the output file. |
Drawings SDK supports exporting .dwg and .dxf files to SVG format (an .svg file). Use the SVGOUT command (located at /Kernel/Exports/SvgExport), which can export either a single viewport or a whole drawing to an .svg file and has the following properties.
| Property name | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Line weight scale | 1.0 | Scale ratio that depends on the scale of the original .dwg file |
| Floating point precision | 6 | Number of digits in float values. |
| Image base | Current location | Path of the output file. |
| Image URL | ./ | Prefix to be added to the image name. |
| Default image extension | .png | Default image format. |
| Generic font family | sans-serif | Generic font family for the text that displays in the output file. |
| Output height | 768 | Height of the output file (in points). |
| Output width | 1024 | Width of the output file (in points). |
| Using the HLR | Yes | Specifies whether or not to use the hidden line removing algorithm. |
| Using the blended gradients | Yes | Specifies whether or not to use blended gradients for a complex gradient fill. |
Drawings SDK supports importing a Collada file (.dae file) into a .dwg or .dxf file (more information about Collada is at http://opencollada.org/). Use the COLLADAIN command (located at /Drawing/Imports/ColladaImport), which has the following properties.
| Property name | Default value | Description | Name | Name of the file to be imported. |
|---|---|---|
| Using primitives | No | Property defines whether or not to use primitives for mapping of materials. |
| Console info | Yes | Property defines output information at the console. |
Drawings SDK supports importing a .dwf file into a database, which can be saved as a .dwg or .dxf file. Use the DWFIN command (located at /Drawing/Imports/DwfImport), which has the following properties.
| Property name | Default value | Description | Name | Name of the file to be imported. |
|---|---|---|
| Password | Password of the file | |
| Paper width | 297 | Width of the paper. |
| Paper height | 210 | Height of the paper. |
| Preserving color indices | Yes | Specifies whether or not to preserve color indices. |
| Layout | All | Specifies which layout should be imported. |
| Importing 3D DWF (HSF) model | No | Specifies whether or not to import a 3D DWF (HSF) model. |
