DWG Overview
DWG is the native format for AutoCAD and is proprietary to Autodesk with no published specification. Atalasoft is an OpenDesign Alliance Sustaining Member. The ODA seeks to help programmers integrate the DWG format into their software by reverse engineering the DWG specification. This has made it possible for the DWG format to be read ubiquitously by non-Autodesk provided software and without any Autodesk code. DWG is the de-facto standard for CAD drawings and Autodesk estimates that there are between two and four billion DWG files in existence.

DXF Overview
DXF is the AutoCAD interchange format and has a published specification. Not every feature of AutoCAD is supported in DXF, and some parts are undocumented. Most real-world drawings are still in DWG format.

Product Features:

• Ability to decode DWG and DXF formats
• Supports reading from any .NET Stream
• Ability to zoom to any point or fit the drawing to a page
• Integrated with DotImage so that images read in it can be viewed, processed or saved as another format
• Runtime Royalty Free Desktop Licensing

Support

Maintenance Subscription
12 months of maintenance is included with the purchase, providing upgrade protection and priority phone and web based support.
An active maintenance is required for each SDK and Server in order to deploy the software royalty free (some Add Ons may require a runtime license). Please see the Pricing and Licensing section for more information.
