Convert Multiple Layouts of AutoCAD (DWG, DXF) Drawings to PDF & Image Formats -- Aspose

LANE COVE, Australia - Jan. 22, 2015 - PRLog -- What's New in this Release?

We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Imaging for .NET 2.7.0. Most worth mentioning feature is the support for DWG 2005 revision 16.1, 2010 revision 18.0 and 2013 revision 19.0 AutoCAD formats. If you are planning to upgrade the Aspose.Imaging for .NET API to the latest revision, we would strongly suggest you to check the Public API Change section to know what has been changed in the API since your current version. As you are already aware that Aspose.Imaging for .NET API can load AutoCAD drawings for possible conversion to PDF and raster image formats. With this release, the API has extended its support for the said conversion by allowing the users to select multiple layouts from a given DWG or DXF drawing, and render them to PDF or raster image formats. The API has exposed the CadRasterizationOptions.Layouts property of type string[] so you may specify more than one layouts at a time. While specifying multiple layouts for the CadRasterizationOptions.Layouts property, the resultant PDF and TIFF image would have multiple pages, GIF image would have multiple frames and PSD format would have multiple layers, where each page/frame/layer represents an individual AutoCAD layout. In case any other image format such as PNG, BMP, JPEG is selected to store the result then the API will render only the default layout; that is “Model”. The CAD to PDF and CAD to raster image conversion can take some time to complete and may fail after some execution due to any problem in the input CAD file. Instead of wondering what could have been happening during the process, you may simply use the Aspose.Imaging’s tracking API to know the status of the conversion process. Aspose.Imaging for .NET 2.7.0 has introduced a series of new classes and a few helping enumeration fields to assist with the tracking of CAD rendering process for possible problems such as missing or corrupted header information, missing layout information, missing block entities, missing dimension styles or missing styles etc. Previously, Aspose.Imaging allowed to set the transparency color for PNG format. With this release, the API has extended its support for the GIF image, and have improved the public API to make the usability even simpler by exposing the relevant properties to the RasterImage class. The main new and improved features added in this release are listed below

· Improve ycck-jpeg public api for icc profiles handling

Overview: Aspose.Imaging for .NET

Aspose.Imaging for .NET is an image processing & manipulation component that allows developers to create, edit, draw or convert images in their .NET application. It allows developers to convert image files to PSD, BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and GIF formats. Moreover a set of pens, brushes and fonts can be used to draw images or add new elements & text to existing images. Aspose.Imaging for .NET works well with both web & windows applications. Moreover, it adds the support for Silverlight platform.
