CAD Export VCL is an easy-to-use high-quality multi-functional source code provided component for using in Delphi/C++Builder applications. CAD Export VCL is a pack of several powerful classes that can be used in applications that give users ability to generate AutoCAD DXF, CGM, Hewlett-Packard PLT/HPGL, PDF, SVG and SWF files.

CAD Export VCL:
* provides direct export to AutoCAD DXF, Hewlett-Packard PLT/HPGL, CGM, PDF, SVG and SWF file formats
* fully compatible with Borland Delphi and C++ Builder from 6 up to 2009 versions
* supports Unicode
* source code provided
* royalty free licensing

CAD Export VCL allows export by two methods: fast method - via a metafile and high precision direct method.

Direct export
Direct export is more complicated method which allows to get DXF, PLT/HPGL, CGM, PDF, SVG and SWF files with high precision. For your convenience we have implemented new direct export conception: creation of TsgCADImage object, its entities and export using one of TsgCADtox*x classes (where x*x is output format). CADExportDemo is a demo project that shows creation of the TsgCADImage object, its entities and direct export to the one of the supported file formats.

Export via metafile
Export via a metafile allows to create DXF files automatically. This is a quick and convenient method for adding DXF export functionality to your application. All you need is to draw image using Windows GDI functions onto Windows Metafile DC and give it to the Exporter. DXFExporter reads Windows Metafile structure and makes DXF automatically. For the best translation from applications please make metafile in 00.1 mm mode and use XP_USE01MM flag. DXFExporter is a demo project that shows export to DXF file format via a metafile or directly. Direct export in DXFExporter demo uses old methods from TsgDXFExport class. This mode of direct export is obsolete. We recommend direct export based on inner image entities using. See example in CADExportDemo.
