Steps to Convert DXF to BMP via C#
.NET programmers can easily load & convert DXF files to BMP in just a few lines of code.
- Load DXF file with Image.Load method
- Set an object of CadRasterizationOptions with page height & width
- Create an instance of BmpOptions class and set its VectorRasterizationOptions property
- Call Image.Save method while passing the resultant file path & object of BmpOptions
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 DXF to BMP C# Conversion
| // load DXF in an instance of Image via its Load method | |
| using (var image = Image.Load("template.dxf")) | |
| { | |
| // create an instance of CadRasterizationOptions and set page height & width | |
| var rasterizationOptions = new ImageOptions.CadRasterizationOptions() | |
| { | |
| PageWidth = 1600, | |
| PageHeight = 1600 | |
| }; | |
| // create an instance of BmpOptions | |
| var options = new ImageOptions.BmpOptions(); | |
| // set the VectorRasterizationOptions property as CadRasterizationOptions | |
| options.VectorRasterizationOptions = rasterizationOptions; | |
| // export DXF to BMP | |
| image.Save("output.bmp", options); | |
| } |

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.

Files having extension .BMP represent Bitmap Image files that are used to store bitmap digital images. These images are independent of graphics adapter and are also called device independent bitmap (DIB) file format. This independency serves the purpose of opening the file on multiple platforms such as Microsoft Windows and Mac. The BMP file format can store data as two-dimensional digital images in both monochrome as well as color format with various colour depths.
