Creating 3D Software to View AutoCAD® DWG files
In this article, we are going to develop a small 3D Software which can read DWG files which is shown in following video. Video Demo This software can read AutoCAD® Drawing files (DWG), compute volume and weight of 3D object which is being selected. Before start programming, you must have the following tools installed on your machine. 1) Microsoft Visual Studio: We shall use VB.Net or C# programming languages in Microsoft Visual Studio. You can download Microsoft Visual Studio from : https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/ 2) DevDept Eyeshot: Eyeshot is a 3D CAD tool based on .NET Framework. It allows programmers to develop 3D CAD functionalities to their software. Eyeshot provides tools for developing 2D / 3D geometry from scratch. It also allows that Geometry can also be imported or exported using other CAD file formats. You can download free version from: https://www.devdept.com/Products/Eyeshot/Download FOLLOW THE STEPS 1) Download and Install Visual Studio . 2) Downlo
