Convert DGN to JPEG via C#
Instantly convert DGN to JPEG without needing AutoCAD® or any other rendering software.
Aspose.CAD for .NET
Overview
How to Convert DGN to JPEG Using C#
In order to convert DGN to JPEG, we’ll use Aspose.CAD for .NET API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for C# platform. Open NuGet package manager, search for Aspose.CAD and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.
Package Manager Console Command
PM> Install-Package Aspose.CAD
Steps to Convert DGN to JPEG via C#
.NET programmers can easily load & convert DGN files to JPEG in just a few lines of code.
- Load DGN file with Image.Load method
- Set an object of CadRasterizationOptions with page height & width
- Create an instance of JpegOptions class and set its VectorRasterizationOptions property
- Call Image.Save method while passing the resultant file path & object of JpegOptions
System Requirements
Before running the .NET conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.
- Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with .NET Framework, .NET Core.
- Development environment like Microsoft Visual Studio.
- Aspose.CAD for .NET DLL referenced in your project.
This sample code shows DGN to JPEG C# Conversion
| // load DGN in an instance of Image via its Load method | |
| using (var image = Image.Load("template.dgn")) | |
| { | |
| // create an instance of CadRasterizationOptions and set page height & width | |
| var rasterizationOptions = new ImageOptions.CadRasterizationOptions() | |
| { | |
| PageWidth = 1600, | |
| PageHeight = 1600 | |
| }; | |
| // create an instance of JpegOptions | |
| var options = new ImageOptions.JpegOptions(); | |
| // set the VectorRasterizationOptions property as CadRasterizationOptions | |
| options.VectorRasterizationOptions = rasterizationOptions; | |
| // export DGN to JPEG | |
| image.Save("output.jpeg", options); | |
| } |

DGN What is DGN File Format?
A file with a .dgn (Design) extension is a drawing file created by and supported by CAD applications such as MicroStation and Intergraph Interactive Graphics Design System. It is used for creating and saving designs for construction projects such as highways, bridges, and buildings. The format is similar to Autodesk’s DWG file format and is considered its competitor. DNG files can either be saved as Intergraph Standard File Format or V8 DGN. DGN can be converted to several other formats such as DWG, BMP, JPEG, PDF, GIF and others. It can be opened with Autodesk AutoCAD, Bentley View and Bentley Systems MicroStation in addition to other software applications such as Corel PaintShop Photo Pro and IMSI TurboCAD Deluxe versions.
Read MoreJPEG What is JPEG File Format?
A JPEG is a type of image format that is saved using the method of lossy compression. The output image, as result of compression, is a trade-off between storage size and image quality. Users can adjust the compression level to achieve the desired quality level while at the same time reduce the storage size. Image quality is negligibly affected if 10:1 compression is applied to the image. The higher the compression value, the higher the degradation in image quality.
