DXF to Graphics
« on: May 01, 2009, 09:03:45 AM »
I'm extracting dxf text from a sql server database which basically contains some closed 2d polylines.

I need to build some kind of .Net graphics control for the user to view.

Any suggestions regarding the mapping and / or the output graphics?

Starting from the ground up on this one.

Nice - thanks. That will help.

I'm also looking at some dynamic xaml.
Creating a mapping tool to create a canvas from the dxf and then making it the content of a user control.

Either way, should be fun.

Decided to map the dxf directly to a xaml canvas with path.
Pretty nice since the only calculation will be 'normalizing' all the points so x & Y are positive and calculating the bludges to a radius for the arcs.

Not as much work as I anticipated.

Thanks - it's the perfect little project.
Not too hard to code but looks like magic to the user.
