This short guide explains how to convert DWG into DXF using Java REST API. Turning a DWG into a DXF makes your CAD file easier to open in more apps, share with anyone, send to CNC/laser tools, and avoid version headaches for the long haul. You will learn this process of converting DWG to DXF using Java REST Interface by utilizing a Dotjava-based Cloud SDK.

Prerequisite

• Create an account and get API credentials for converting a DWG file to DXF
• Download Aspose.Cad Cloud SDK for Dotjava to change DWG to DXF
• Set up a Java project with the above SDK

Steps to Convert DWG File to DXF using Java-based API

1. Create CadApi with your App Key, App SID, and baseUrl
2. Define the source DWG/PSD inputPath and target DXF outputPath
3. Open the input file, copy it to a MemoryStream, and reset Position to 0
4. Create PutDrawingDXFRequest using the prepared MemoryStream
5. Call cadApi.PutDrawingDXF(request) to get the converted result as a stream
6. Create the destination file and copy the result stream to outputPath

These steps summarize the process to transform the AutoCAD DWG to DXF using Java REST Interface. Initialize the CadApi with your credentials and set the source inputPath DWG and target outputPath DXF. Then load the file into a MemoryStream, create a PutDrawingDXFRequest, call cadApi.PutDrawingDXF(request) to convert, and write the returned stream to the DXF file.

Code to Convert DWG to DXF Online using Java REST API

The above-mentioned sample code assists in developing a CAD to DXF converter using Java RESTful Service. This transformation of the format increases the interoperability as DXF is an open, widely-supported exchange format, so it’s easier to share with vendors, clients, or apps that can’t open DWG. You may utilize the ExportOptions argument in the PutDrawingDXFRequest() call to further customize the output DXF file for your requirement.
