🚀 Overview

DxfToCSharp is a powerful .NET library and toolset for generating C# code from DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) files. Built on top of the robust netDxf library, it provides seamless conversion of CAD drawings into executable C# code.

✨ Key Features

• 🎯 High-Performance Code Generation - Convert DXF files to clean, readable C# code
• 🔧 Multiple Interfaces - GUI application, command-line tool, and programmatic API
• 📐 Comprehensive DXF Support - Supports all major DXF entities and drawing elements
• 🎨 Modern UI - Beautiful Avalonia-based desktop application
• ⚡ Cross-Platform - Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux
• 🧪 Well-Tested - Comprehensive test suite with high code coverage

🛠️ Installation

Library (NuGet)

# Core library
dotnet add package DxfToCSharp.Core

# Compilation services
dotnet add package DxfToCSharp.Compilation

Command Line Tool

# Install as global tool
dotnet tool install -g DxfToCSharp.Tool

# Use the tool
dxf2cs input.dxf output.cs

📖 Quick Start

Using the Library

using DxfToCSharp.Core;
using netDxf;

// Load DXF document
var dxfDocument = DxfDocument.Load("drawing.dxf");

// Configure generation options
var options = new DxfCodeGenerationOptions
{
    Namespace = "MyProject.Drawings",
    ClassName = "GeneratedDrawing"
};

// Generate C# code
var generator = new DxfCodeGenerator();
string csharpCode = generator.GenerateCode(dxfDocument, options);

// Save to file
File.WriteAllText("GeneratedDrawing.cs", csharpCode);

Using the Command Line Tool

# Basic usage
dxf2cs input.dxf output.cs

# With custom options
dxf2cs input.dxf output.cs --namespace "MyProject" --class "Drawing"
