DXFExport and GDI+

Post by Pierre Castelain » 24 Sep 2008, 20:40

Hello,

I have several problems using the DXF Export for VCL component. I am using this component to convert metafiles created in my application.
It worked quite well when I was using standard VCL and GDI calls to create the metafiles. Now I use GDI+ to create these metafiles and the conversion process generates graphical errors on the output dxf files.
I have built some simple examples to show this. They are zipped on a file attached to this post.
I used the DXFExporter.exe binary available in my release to convert the metafiles. I have the same result if I use a TsgDXFExport instance in my code.
The version used is a bit old (5.25) but a test with the latest trial version gives the same results.

Can you give me a hint on what to do to correct this ?

Best regards

Dear Pierre Castelain,

We have tested your EMF files with DXFExporter.exe from DXF Export VCL v.6.1. It is available at: http://www.cadsofttools.com/download/dxfexportvcl.zip We fond the only problem: some vertical and horizontal lines are missing in the output DXF files. And no more exceptions arose while converting. Can you please send us to support@cadsofttools.com detailed information about mentioned in your post "graphical errors"?

BTW: DXF Export VCL v.6.1 does not support GDI+.
