Question

I'm developing application which needs to get details from AutoCAD DXF file. Is there any specific API which support this task. Actually in my project I need to get building structures to my java application and I need to add some more details to those graphs So can some one provide your experience about this ?

Was it helpful?

Solution

A quick Google search on java dxf yields the ycad library. I have never used it, I don't know how well it works.

OTHER TIPS

http://caff.de/dxfviewer/ supports reading DXF files.

The reading of an AutoCAD DXF file is not a trivial task. The contained entities can be affected by the coordinate systems, the blocks can be hierarchycal, etc. When I wrote my DXF importer, I read the file sequentialy, built a DXF DOM and then converted it into my own format. You can find the document specification here:
