netDxf is a .net library programmed in C# to read and write AutoCAD DXF files. It supports AutoCad2000, AutoCad2004, AutoCad2007, AutoCad2010, AutoCad2013, and AutoCad2018 DXF database versions, in both text and binary format.
The library is easy to use and I tried to keep the procedures as straightforward as possible, for example you will not need to fill up the table section with layers, styles or line type definitions. The DxfDocument will take care of that every time a new item is added.
If you need more information, you can find the official DXF documentation here.
Code example:
…Are contained in the source code. Well, at the moment they are just tests for the work in progress.
Multitarget project, predefined frameworks for Net Framework 4.8 and NET 6.0.
Visual Studio 2022. The solution file is still usable by Visual Studio 2019 but it does not support NET 6.0. netDxf is compatible with any net version from Net Framework 4.0. If your desired version is not listed among the predefined frameworks manually edit the netdxf.csproj file and set the TargetFrameworks accordingly. When compiling for any of the Net Framework 4 family make sure that the constant NET4X is defined for your selected framework.
See changelog.txt or the wiki page for information on the latest changes.
All entities can be grouped. All DXF objects may contain extended data information. AutoCad Table entities will be imported as Inserts (block references). Both simple and complex line types are supported. The library will never be able to read some entities like REGIONs, SURFACEs, and 3DSOLIDs, since they depend on undocumented proprietary data.
