Steps to Convert DWG to WMF via C#

.NET programmers can easily load & convert DWG files to WMF in just a few lines of code.

Load DWG file with Image.Load method
Set an object of CadRasterizationOptions with page height & width
Create an instance of WmfOptions class and set its VectorRasterizationOptions property
Call Image.Save method while passing the resultant file path & object of WmfOptions

System Requirements

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

DWG What is DWG File Format?

Files with DWG extension represent proprietary binary files used for containing 2D and 3D design data. Like DXF, which are ASCII files, DWG represent the binary file format for CAD (Computer Aided Design) drawings. It contains vector image and metadata for representation of contents of CAD files. There are free viewers available for viewing DWG files on Windows Operating System such as the Autodesk’s free DWG TrueView. There are other third party applications as well that support reaching DWG files.

WMF What is WMF File Format?

Files with WMF extension represent Microsoft Windows Metafile (WMF) for storing vector as well as bitmap-format images data. To be more accurate, WMF belongs to the vector file format category of Graphics file formats that is device independent. Windows Graphical Device Interface (GDI) uses the functions stored in a WMF file to display an image on the screen. A more enhanced version of WMF, known as Enhanced Meta Files (EMF), was published later that makes the format more feature rich. Practically, WMF are similar to SVG.
