AutoCAD Drawing Interchange (DXF) Import

In This Topic

There are two ways to import an AutoCAD drawing (in DXF format): as a document and as an image.

Import an AutoCAD Drawing as a Document

Importing an AutoCAD drawing as a document creates a new document and then imports the AutoCAD drawing in it:

Import an AutoCAD DXF Drawing as document	Copy Code
drawingView.LoadFromLocalFile(@"D:\Documents\AutoCadDrawing.dxf");

Import an AutoCAD Drawing as an Image

Importing an AutoCAD drawing as an image just creates a new shape and sets the imported AutoCAD drawing as its image and preserves all content currently in the drawing.

Import an AutoCAD DXF Drawing as image	Copy Code
NImage image = NImage.FromFileEmbedded(@"D:\Documents\AutoCadDrawing.dxf"); NPoint imageCenter = new NPoint(300, 300); NInsertImageCommandAction.InsertImage(drawingView, imageCenter, image);
