This tutorial will guide you through the process step by step, ensuring a smooth and successful export every time.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

  • Aspose.CAD for Java Library: Download and install the Aspose.CAD for Java library from here.

  • Java Development Environment: Ensure you have a Java development environment set up on your system.

  • Basic Java Knowledge: Familiarize yourself with basic Java programming concepts.

Import Namespaces

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

import com.aspose.cad.Image;
import com.aspose.cad.InterpolationMode;
import com.aspose.cad.SmoothingMode;
import com.aspose.cad.TextRenderingHint;

import com.aspose.cad.imageoptions.BmpOptions;
import com.aspose.cad.imageoptions.CadRasterizationOptions;
import com.aspose.cad.imageoptions.PdfOptions;
//import com.aspose.cad.imageoptions.TypeOfEntities;

Step 1: Set the Resource Directory Path

Begin by defining the path to your resource directory where the CAD file is located.

String dataDir = "Your Document Directory" + "ExportingCAD/";

Step 2: Load the CAD File

Load the CAD file into an Aspose.CAD Image object.

String fileName = (dataDir + "site.dwf");
Image image = Image.load(fileName);

Step 3: Configure BMP Export Options

Create and configure BMP export options, including rasterization settings.

BmpOptions bmpOptions = new BmpOptions();
CadRasterizationOptions rasterizationOptions = new CadRasterizationOptions();
bmpOptions.setVectorRasterizationOptions(rasterizationOptions);

Step 4: Set Rasterization Parameters

Define parameters such as page height, page width, and layouts for rasterization.

rasterizationOptions.setPageHeight(500);
rasterizationOptions.setPageWidth(500);
rasterizationOptions.setLayouts(new String[] { "Model" });

Step 5: Export to BMP

Specify the output path and save the BMP file.

String outPath = dataDir + "site.bmp";
image.save(outPath, bmpOptions);

Repeat these steps for each CAD file you wish to export to BMP using Aspose.CAD for Java.

Conclusion

Exporting CAD files to BMP format is made easy with Aspose.CAD for Java. By following this step-by-step guide, you can seamlessly integrate this functionality into your Java applications, ensuring efficient and precise conversions.
