I think DXF is not directly supported under .NET Classes and you will probably need to use a library that has the necessary components to load or convert DXF. One approach you can try is to load the DXF as a raster image using the LEADTOOLS SDK (https://www.leadtools.com). The code to do this is as follows: RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); // Set the vector load options codecs.Options.Vector.Load.BackgroundColor = new RasterColor(255, 255, 255); codecs.Options.Vector.Load.BitsPerPixel = 24; codecs.Options.Vector.Load.ForceBackgroundColor = true ; codecs.Options.Vector.Load.ViewWidth = 800; codecs.Options.Vector.Load.ViewHeight = 800; codecs.Options.Vector.Load.ViewMode = CodecsVectorViewMode.UseBest; RasterImage img = codecs.Load(@ "input.dxf" ); Once you have the DXF loaded as an image, you can use it to display in a viewer or save to another format. You can download a free evaluation edition from this page: https://www.leadtools.com/downloads
