Steps to Extract Assets from DXF via Java

Java programmers can easily extract assets from DXF in just a few lines of code.

  • Load DXF file via the constructor of Scene class
  • Create zip file format object as output file format
  • Create archive class and handle extract asset class
  • Call the Extract method and save the file

System Requirements

Aspose.3D for JAVA is supported on all major operating systems. Just make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

  • Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with Java Runtime Environment for JSP/JSF Application and Desktop Applications.
  • Get latest version of Aspose.3D for Java directly from Maven.
 

JAVA code to Extract Assets from DXF


//Source files that need to extract assets
String file = "template.dxf";

//create an instance of Scene
Scene scene = new Scene();
scene.open(file, FileFormat.DXF);

    Java 3D Scene Manipulation Library

    Aspose.3D is a CAD and Gameware API to load, modify and convert 3D files. API is a standalone and does not require any any 3D modeling or rendering software. One can easily use API for Discreet3DS, WavefrontOBJ, STL (ASCII, Binary), Universal3D, FBX (ASCII, Binary), Collada, glTF, PLY, GLB, DirectX and more formats.

    DXF What is DXF File Format?

    DXF, drawing interchange format, or drawing exchange format, is a tagged data representation of AutoCAD drawing file. Each element in the file has a prefix integer number called a group code. This group code actually represents the element that follows and indicates the meaning of a data element for a given object type. DXF makes it possible to represent almost all user-specified information in a drawing file.
