CAD File Conversion to Other Formats via JavaScript
Aspose.CAD for JavaScript makes it easy for software developers to load and convert nemours CAD file formats to other supported file formats using JavaScript API. The API allows conversion of AutoCAD DXF, DWG, DWT, DGN, IFC, DWF, DWFX, STL, PLT, OBJ, SVG, DXB, FBX, U3D, 3DS, STP files to PDF and Raster images like GIF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PSD, BMP, DICOM, Webp, EMF, WMF, SVG & so on. This feature is useful when you need to generate reports, share CAD files with non-CAD users, or incorporate CAD data into different systems. The following example shows how software developers can convert DWG Format to PNG inside JavaScript applications.
How to Export DWG Format to PNG via JavaScript?
async onFileSelected(event) {
const file: File = event.target.files[0]; //file.dwg
file.arrayBuffer().then(async buff => {
let x = new Uint8Array(buff);
this.imgFile = await Image.load(x);
var exportedFile = await Image.save(this.imgFile, new PngOptions());
var blob = new Blob([exportedFile], { type: 'application/octet-stream' });
});
}
CAD Geometry Operations via JavaScript API
Aspose.CAD for JavaScript has provided support for various operations for programmatically handling geometry operations inside JavaScript applications. The API provides various geometry operations, allowing software developers to perform tasks like scaling, rotation, translation, merging, copying, mirroring, and more on CAD entities. This functionality is crucial for modifying CAD files programmatically. Moreover, the API allows manipulating CAD entities programmatically, such as lines, arcs, circles, text, dimensions, and more.
AutoCAD Layer and Layout Support
Aspose.CAD for JavaScript API provides comprehensive support for working with layers and layouts. You can create, modify, and delete layers, as well as manage layouts within CAD files. This feature is particularly useful when dealing with complex CAD projects that involve multiple layers and layouts. Software developers can easily access and manipulate individual layers within CAD files using the API and supports tasks like hiding specific layers, changing layer properties, or extracting layer-specific data.
Read & Extract CAD Metadata via JavaScript
Aspose.CAD for JavaScript enable software developers to access AutoCAD metadata information with just a couple of lines of JavaScript code. The API enables programmers to easily retrieve information about layers, blocks, entities, dimensions, and other properties, enabling them to analyze and process CAD files programmatically. Moreover, developers can also extract metadata information from CAD files, such as author details, creation date, and modification history. This information can be utilized for documentation, analysis, or further processing.
