Convert DWG to PNG using C# REST API

This short tutorial guides on how to convert DWG to PNG using C# REST API. You will exercise the process to transform files from AutoCAD to PNG using C# Low Code API with the help of a Dotnet-based Cloud SDK. This conversion allows complex technical drawings to be shared and preserved as lightweight raster images.

Prerequisite

Steps for DWG to PNG Converter using C# RESTful Service

  1. Start by creating an instance of the CadApi and connecting it with your Aspose Cloud credentials to get ready for the conversion
  2. Pick the DWG or DXF drawing you want to turn into a PNG and decide where you’d like the output to be saved
  3. Load your drawing into a stream or byte buffer so it’s ready to send over to the Aspose service
  4. Wrap the drawing data in a PNG conversion request, call the PutDrawingPng method, and let the server handle the rendering
  5. Once the service returns the PNG stream, write it to your chosen output path and confirm that the image is ready to use

These steps explain how to convert DWG to PNG online using C# RESTful Service. First, you connect to Aspose Cloud with your credentials, choose the DWG or DXF file you’d like to convert, and set the output location. Then, you send the file to the service for rendering, grab the returned PNG stream, and save it to your computer.

Code to Convert DWG to PNG High Resolution using C# Low Code API

The above code has performed the AutoCAD export to PNG using C# .NET-based API. The request is prepared by using the PutDrawingPngRequest that takes the memory stream containing the DWG file contents. This request is passed to the PutDrawingPng() method that uploads it to the Cloud storage, converts it to PNG format, and returns the converted file as a stream for saving on the disk.

This short guide has taught us the conversion from DWG to PNG. To format a DWG file to JPEG, refer to the article on Convert DWG to JPG using C# REST API.
