Convert DWG to SVG using Python REST API

This short tutorial shows how to convert DWG to SVG using Python REST API. You will learn how to automatically transform DWG to SVG using Python REST Interface with the help of a Dotpython-based Cloud SDK. After this conversion of DWG to SVG, the CAD drawings can be easily viewable and scalable in any web browser.

Prerequisite

Steps to Convert DWG to SVG Online using Python RESTful Service

  1. Create the CadApi client using the secret API key and user ID
  2. Set the input path of the source DWG file and the output SVG file
  3. Read the input file into a memory stream and set its position to start
  4. Create the PutDrawingSvgRequest object and pass it the input file memory stream
  5. Call the PutDrawingSvg by passing the request object for converting the input file
  6. Save the returned SVG stream as a file on the disk

These steps summarize how to change the file format from CAD to SVG using Python-based API. Create the CadApi client, initialize it with the user secret key and ID, define the input and output file paths, and read the input DWG file into a memory stream. Instantiate the PutDrawingSvgRequest object with the input file memory stream, call the PutDrawingSvg() method to perform the conversion and get the SVG stream, and save the output as an SVG file.

Code to Convert AutoCAD to SVG using Python-based API

The above code demonstrates the conversion of a file in AutoCAD to SVG using Python RESTful Service. You may utilize the export options in the PutDrawingSvgRequest class to customize the output. Similarly, multiple files can be uploaded to Cloud storage and converted to the desired format by calling the appropriate method for the respective files.
