DXF 3D .NET library with the following features:

- Imports ascii and binary DXF files (DXF versions 12, 13 and 14).
- Exports ascii and binary DXF files (DXF versions 12, 13 and 14) from code.
- Views DXF files (3D wire frames drawn with GDI+).
- Utility class for export to .bmp/.jpeg/.png/.tiff/.gif.
- Both 2D and 3D are supported.
- Export to PDF/PostScript/SVG.
- Read compressed DXF files (zip, tar, bz2, gz).
- 100% .NET code. All DXF objects exposed as .NET classes and typesafe collections. Convenient enums are provided for all flags in DXF.

With this library AutoCad files can be created from your own .NET application. The library also enables your application to import, view and print AutoCad files.

sgCore
$400 - Geometros

SgCore is a powerful geometric modeling engine designed for programmers and engineers who deal with 3D modeling. A user-friendly interface, an abundance of functions to create the most complicated objects and manipulate them, the small size of the library itself, full documentation and 24-hour technical support, all make sgCore a natural choice for any 3D programmer. In the sgCore library, Geometros has realized a great number of 3D solid-state modeling functions. Now programmers can include features of any 3D editor and CAD system into their programs and dynamically model even the most complicated objects. You can also use sgCore as a base to create your own modeling systems. The Geometros Company is developing the SolidGraph CAD system based on the sgCore library. Thus, new geometry and modeling features necessary for CAD system will be constantly added to new versions of sgCore. Additionally, registered users can influence the functionality of the new versions of the library by simply sending a letter describing what features they would like to have. As a registered user, you will also receive a free upgrade to the next version, 24-hour technical support and hot fixes of any discovered bugs within 1-3 days. SgCore with its numerous functions for 3D and 2D modeling and robust algorithms for creating and editing most elaborate objects provides everything you need to develop a fully functional CAD system. The chargeable version of SgCore offers such useful features as loading AutoCAD SHX fonts, creating text and dimensional objects (distant, radial, diametral, angle), saving objects in the user-defined formats and loading objects from a file as well as DXF import/export. The team of Geometros developers is now working on widening the sgCore functionality to the point where it is possible to construct photorealistic scene images.

DXF Export for Solid Edge
$195 - SYCODE

DXF Export for Solid Edge is an AutoCAD® DXF file export add-in for Solid Edge®. This add-in gives Solid Edge the ability to export 3D solid and surface data from a Solid Edge part or assembly document to 3D Polyface Meshes in an AutoCAD DXF file.

DXF Export for Solid Edge tessellates the solid bodies in a Solid Edge part or assembly document into individual triangular meshes. These meshes are then exported to an ASCII DXF file as 3D Polyface mesh objects. The DXF file can then be imported into a variety of CAD applications.

DXF Export for Solid Edge is very easy to use. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into Solid Edge and adds a new submenu called "DXF Export for Solid Edge" to the Solid Edge Applications menu.

The 'DXF Export for Solid Edge' menu consists of the following commands:
# Export - Export meshes to a DXF file
# Help - Display the DXF Export for Solid Edge help file
# Register - Register your copy of DXF Export for Solid Edge
# About - Display the DXF Export for Solid Edge About box

DXF Export for Solid Edge comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.


The DXF File Format

The AutoCAD DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format) is a CAD data file format, developed by Autodesk as their solution for enabling data interoperability between AutoCAD and other programs. DXF was originally introduced in December 1982 as part of AutoCAD 1.0, and was intended to provide an exact representation of the data in the AutoCAD native file format, DWG (Drawing), for which Autodesk didn't (and doesn't) publish specifications.

DXF is probably one of the most widely supported vector formats in the world today. DXF is rich in features, including: support for 3D objects, curves, text, associative dimensioning, etc. Although DXF was developed to represent the data used in a CAD program, it is used by many programs as a "least common denominator".
