Kabeja is a small library for parsing DXF-Files and converting
this to SVG. It is licensed under the Apache Software License 2.0.
Limitation:
-----------
There are not all Entities of DXF supported yet. Text-Entities generate problems too.
Supported:
*Arc
*Attrib
*Polyline
*Circle
*Line
*Blocks/Insert
*Text
*MText
*LWPolyline
*Solid
*Trace
*Ellipse
*Dimension
*Image
*Leader
*XLine
*Ray
*Hatch
*Spline
*MLine
Planned:
* Tolerance
You can use Kabeja from CLI (Command Line Interface) or embed in your application.
GUI:
----
Windows:
* double-click "kabeja.exe"
Linux:
* sh kabeja.sh
or:
* chmod a=rx kabeja.sh (only ones)
* ./kabeja.sh
Other:
* java -jar launcher.jar
CLI:
----
in the Kabeja-folder try:
* Help and pipeline list
java -jar launcher.jar --help
* Convert to svg
java -jar launcher.jar -nogui -pipeline svg myfile.dxf result.svg
* Convert to pdf|jpeg|png|...
java -jar launcher.jar -nogui -pipeline <pdf|jpeg|png> myfile.dxf
Normally Java uses 64 MB of your memory, to setup more use the following commandline
switch:
java -Xmx256m -jar .....
GUI-Viewer:
-----------
in the 'lib'-folder try:
java -jar kabeja-svgview.jar
Cocoon 2.1 (XML-Publishing-Framework http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1):
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy the 'kabeja.jar' and 'kabeja-svg2dxf-cocoon.jar' to your WEB-INF/lib-folder
of your Cocoon-Webapplication. Then you can use Kabeja as Generator like:
in your sitemap/subsitemap:
snippet:
--------
<map:components>
.....
<map:generators default="file">
<map:generator name="dxf2svg" src="org.kabeja.cocoon.generation.DXF2SVGGenerator"/>
</map:generators>
....
<map:pipelines>
<map:pipeline>
<map:match pattern="dxf/*.svg">
<map:generate type="dxf2svg" src="dxf/{1}.dxf"/>
...
<!-- transform things you need -->
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
</map:pipeline>
....
</map:pipelines>
Note: DXF-drafts often real large drafts, so the SVGDocument will consume a lot of memory. The Generator is
Cacheable so the first run will take more time.
Feedback and Help

Any help and feedback are greatly appreciated.
