Pc dokter Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 DWG (DraWinG) is the standard file format of AutoCAD drawings. DXF (Drawing eXchange Format) is a universal file format. All CAD and CAM programs can open it, so they use this to import in other CAD en CAM products if they aren' t sure if it can read a DWG file. If this is possible to implement maybe you can add DWF (Drawing Web Format) support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 This definitely won't make it into the main Paint.NET release. However, Paint.NET v2.2 supports file format plugins, so it's completely possible that somebody could write a DLL to handle these formats.

Pc dokter Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 JDHill : I had no idea that DWG and DXF where vector based drawings. But I was only replying on the question that Rick asked : What is DWG DXF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Paint.NET v2.5 does support file format plugins, so it's completely plausible that someone would ride a plugin that would read and rasterize files of this type. Saving would be another matter entirely of course.
