How to Convert DWG to SVG in Java

This topic focuses on how to convert DWG to SVG in Java by using a simple API interface. It covers all the important information including the step-wise algorithm and a code snippet to export DWG to SVG image in Java. You will explore the different properties to perform the DWG to SVG image rendering process.

Steps to Export DWG to SVG Image in Java

  1. Establish the environment by installing the Aspose.CAD for Java Jar file from the repository manager
  2. Open the source DWG file using an of the Image class
  3. Instantiate an object of SvgOptions class and set desired properties
  4. Convert the DWG to SVG and save it on the disk using the save method

The above steps explain the algorithm to convert DWG to SVG in Java using simple API calls whereby we will configure the environment by installing the required Jar file using the repository manager. we will then load the source DWG file from the disk using the Image class object and set the output SVG file properties using an instance of SvgOptions class. Finally, we will save the DWG file as SVG on the disk using the save method.

Code to Convert DWG to SVG in Java

The above code is used for rendering a DWG to SVG in Java using a simple API interface. The SvgOptions class exposes different properties to customize the output SVG including selecting DWG Layers for rendering inside SVG, setting the vector rasterization options, setting the rotation property for SVG and setting the user watermark color and text etc. Finally, the SVG export options are used to render the DWG to SVG using the save method.

In this tutorial, we have learned to render a DWG file to SVG in Java. If you want to learn about converting a DGN file to a PDF, then refer to the article on how to Convert DGN to PDF in Java.
