Documentation

CadLib comes with comprehensive help 2 documentation that integrates with the Visual Studio help system. A stand-alone help 1 file (.chm) can be downloaded separately (on Windows XP the help file might need unlocking, see here). Both C# and VB sample solutions are provided. A basic viewer example is included so you can test view the DXF files you have created with the library. Also a DXF to image converter example is included and an example DXF writing program.

CadLib 3.5 DWG DXF .NET Library

Add CAD capabilities to your .NET application with CadLib 3.5. CadLib makes it extremely easy to work with DWG and DXF files in C#, VB.NET or any other .NET language. This is achieved by providing you with complete type safety, comprehensive documentation and sample solutions. CadLib's rendering is high quality and easy to integrate in your own application. Display DWG and DXF files using GDI+, WPF or OpenGL. Conversion to XAML is also supported.

Example solutions written in C# and VB.NET show how to add more advanced features like zooming, panning and picking. Samples are included that demonstrate use with Windows Forms, WPF, OpenGL and ASP.NET 3.5.
