Convert DWG/DXF to PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, and GIF Image in C#

DWG DXF to PNG, BMP, JPEG, TIFF, and GIF

DWG and DXF are the popular file formats used to store data as well as metadata of the CAD designs. However, it is not possible to directly view or display CAD designs by embedding DWG and DXF files within your web or desktop applications. One of the feasible solutions is CAD to image conversion. This article aims to show you how to convert DWG/DXF files to PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, and GIF images using C#.
