A Drawing/CAD Component by Component Ingenuity Inc

DWGDOMLib is a class library that takes a DWG or DXF CAD drawing file and quickly exposes a document object model (DOM) for the developer's use. It exposes the same DOM for both file types, thus an application utilizing DWGDOMLib can easily support both file types. The .NET component is completely independent of any third party software, thus the only requirement for the developer is to have the .NET Framework 1.1, 2.0, or higher installed.

Possible applications of DWGDOMLib include but are not limited to:

• Extracting data from a DWG or DXF file
• Drawing (by using the information received from the DOM, the developer could integrate this into their own drawing routines)
• Searching for information such as text (with the application developer writing a search routine and using the DOM as a database)

This is the perfect tool for developers looking for a royalty free native .NET component to integrate DWG or DXF files into their solution without relying on non-.NET files or other third party applications (such as AutoCAD). Included with the class library is an in depth online help system and detailed sample applications with full source in C# and VB.NET (the sample viewer also includes source code written in Delphi 8 for .NET). Empower your applications with .NET components from CII.
