OpenCadNet

An opensource 2D Computer Assisted Drawing application/ component written in C#

This application is being transfered from a very old Code Project application (https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/22549/OpenS-CAD-a-simple-2D-CAD-application) in order to keep development alive and organsized.

This application supports import directly from .dxf files using the NetDxf library. Rather than forcing this appliation to be used in it's entirity, the goal is to allow the DocumentForm component to be used in other .net programs that require dxf viewing/ modification.

Supported Entities:

Entity	Progress
Line	Complete
Arc	Complete
Text	Complete
Mtext	In Progress
Solid	Complete
Insert	Complete

Example Usage For Imbedding DocumentForm using a NetDxf instance.

public void ShowDrawing(DxfDocument drawing)
{
    this.df = new Canvas.DocumentForm(drawing)
    {
        TopLevel = false,
        FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None
    };
    this.Panel1.Controls.Add(df);
    this.df.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
    this.df.Show();
}

Short Term Goals:

• Use NetDxf as the internal database for each entitiy type. (currently OpenCadNet transaltes the NetDxf objects into a class contained within OpenCadNet)
• Fix zoom to point in canvas.cs

Example of use as a .net component.
