Examples

You can use the this class, for example, to merge the contents of two DXF files as showed below:

Copy

[C#]

DxfDocument dxf1 = new DxfDocument();
DxfDocument dxf2 = new DxfDocument();

dxf1 = dxf1.Load("SuperQuadric1.dxf");
dxf2 = dxf2.Load("SuperQuadric2.dxf");

dxf1.AddEntities(new List<EntityObject>(dxf2.Entities));

dxf1.Save("SuperQuadricMerge.dxf");

Copy

[Visual Basic]

Dim dxf1 As New DxfDocument()
Dim dxf2 As New DxfDocument()

dxf1 = dxf1.Load("SuperQuadric1.dxf")
dxf2 = dxf2.Load("SuperQuadric2.dxf")

dxf1.AddEntities(New List(Of EntityObject)(dxf2.Entities))

dxf1.Save("SuperQuadricMerge.dxf")
