read Dxf file with java

Question

can we read with calculating object surface as example of a drawing autocad forms using java? I found some package that can read and display the dxf file

Answer 1

I don't have experience with AutoCAD files and java, but per your comment regarding C#...You can use the AutoCAD .NET API with C# or VB.net. There is also the ObjectARX library for C++. These are shipped with AutoCAD and are typically used for building AutoCAD plugins.

If you don't have access to AutoCAD, or need to run your application outside of AutoCAD I'd suggest looking into Open Design Alliance. They have libraries for manipulating Autodesk files outside of the Autodesk suites.
