Export DXF to WMF Format Using Aspose.CAD In Java

Introduction

Welcome to our step-by-step guide on using Aspose.CAD for Java to export DXF drawings to WMF format. Aspose.CAD is a powerful Java library that provides extensive capabilities for working with CAD files. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of converting DXF files to WMF format using Aspose.CAD.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

• Aspose.CAD for Java: Ensure that you have the Aspose.CAD library integrated into your Java project. You can download it here.

• Document Directory: Set up a document directory where your DXF drawings are stored.

Import Namespaces

In your Java project, import the necessary namespaces to access the functionalities provided by Aspose.CAD:

import com.aspose.cad.Color;
import com.aspose.cad.Image;

import com.aspose.cad.fileformats.ifc.IfcImage;
import com.aspose.cad.imageoptions.CadRasterizationOptions;
import com.aspose.cad.imageoptions.PdfOptions;
import com.aspose.cad.imageoptions.WmfOptions;

Step 1: Load DXF Drawing

Load the DXF drawing that you want to export to WMF format. Ensure that the path to the DXF file is correctly specified.

// The path to the resource directory.
String dataDir = "Your Document Directory" + "DXFDrawings/";
String srcFile = dataDir + "conic_pyramid.dxf";
Image image = Image.load(srcFile);

Step 2: Configure Rasterization Options

Configure rasterization options to define the output page width and height. In this example, we set the page width and height to 100 units.

CadRasterizationOptions rasterizationOptions = new CadRasterizationOptions();
rasterizationOptions.setPageWidth(100);
rasterizationOptions.setPageHeight(100);
WmfOptions wmfOptions = new WmfOptions();

Step 3: Save as WMF

Save the loaded DXF drawing as WMF format using the configured options.

cadImage.save(dataDir+" example.ifc.wmf", wmfOptions);

Step 4: Dispose of Resources

Dispose of the resources to free up memory and ensure efficient resource management.

finally
{
  cadImage.dispose();
}

Step 5: Export to PDF

Optionally, export the DXF drawing to PDF format using Aspose.CAD.

image.save(dataDir + "conic_pyramid_out_.pdf"); 

Congratulations! You have successfully exported a DXF drawing to WMF format using Aspose.CAD for Java.

Conclusion
