Convert DXF to DRC via Python

Render DXF as DRC without any 3D modeling and rendering software.

How to Convert DXF to DRC Using Python

In order to convert DXF to DRC, we’ll use

Aspose.3D for Python via .NET

API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for Python. Open

NuGet

package manager, search for Aspose.3D and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.

Command line
pip install aspose-3d

Steps to Convert DXF to DRC via Python

Python programmers can easily load & convert DXF files to DRC in just a few lines of code.

Load DXF file via the from_file of Scene class
Create an instance of AmfSaveOptions
Set DRC specific properties for advanced conversion
Call the Scene.save method
Pass the output path with DRC file extension & object of DrcSaveOptions
Check resultant DRC file at specified path

System Requirements

Before running the Python conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

Microsoft Windows or Linux based OS.
Python 3.5 or later.
Aspose.3D for Python referenced in your project.

A 3D File Processing Library to manipulate 3D files without any modeling and rendering software. The 3D API supports Discreet3DS, WavefrontOBJ, FBX (ASCII, Binary), STL (ASCII, Binary), Universal3D, Collada, glTF, GLB, PLY, DirectX, Google Draco file formats and more. Developers can create, read, convert, modify and control the substance of 3D document formats easily.

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. DXF file format was developed by Autodesk as CAD data file format for data interoperability between AutoCAD and other applications. Thus, data can be imported from other formats to DXF to AutoCAD as per the DXF file format interoperability specifications.

drc What is drc File Format?

A file with .drc extension is a compressed 3D file format created with Google Draco library. Google offers Draco as open source library for compressing and decompressing 3D geometric meshes and point clouds, and improves storage and transmission of 3D graphics. It encodes the input data and saves it as .drc file. At the receiving end, the API reads .drc files and can output these as PLY or OBJ files. The compressed output file enables users to download apps faster and provide quick loading of 3D graphics in browsers.

Other Supported Conversions

You can also convert DXF into many other file formats including few listed below.

DXF TO 3DS (3D Studio DOS Mesh)

DXF TO AMF (Additive Manufacturing Format)

DXF TO DAE (Digital Asset Exchange)

DXF TO FBX (3D Format)

DXF TO PDF (Portable Document Format)

DXF TO PLY (Polygon File Format)

DXF TO RVM (AVEVA Plant Design Model)

DXF TO STL (Interchangeable 3D Surface Geometry)

DXF TO U3D (Universal 3D)
