Description
A sample application that dumps geometry of the active layout of the .dgn
file to the console or to the destination .stl file.
Run Sample Application
To run the ExDgnVectorize sample application, please do the following:
Open the terminal and go to the directory where the sample binary file is
built:
For Windows:
<INSTALL_DIR>\exe\<PLATFORM_NAME>\
For Non-Windows OS:
<INSTALL_DIR>/bin/<PLATFORM_NAME>/
<INSTALL_DIR> is a directory where you unpacked the
Drawings SDK archive.
To determine your <PLATFORM_NAME> parameter, please see
the ODA Platform Naming Conventions section in the
Downloading Drawings SDK topic.
Run the sample with appropriate arguments:
ExDgnVectorize <filename> [<stlFilename>] [-DO]
filename
Full path to the source .dgn file.
stlFilename
Full path to the destination .stl file, to save the dumped geometry data in.
Please note, that the extension of the file should be also specified.
-DO
Disable the output of the progress meter.
If the application executed properly, you will see the progress of the source
file loading process. After the file is loaded, the dump of geometry data
appears.
In case you get the "usage" message, check the parameters.
An error message indicates problems with the source file.
