DWG to PNG Converter

A small program for converting a DWG file to a PNG image & saving it in the same directory.

• The process will create a couple of temporary files in the directory, but they will be removed when the PNG has been saved.

• Sample data source : ArcGIS

• Run sync to install project dependencies locally

• Testing requires Pytest (installed if sync is run)

• External binaries :

  • ODA File Converter : used to convert DWG to open DXF format
  • Inkscape : used to convert SVG to PNG format

Run commands

Check pyproject for system requirements

# Setup local env
python -m venv .venv
./.venv/scripts/activate

# Install pyproject dependencies
python -m sync

# Run DWG conversion
python -m src.process_dwg "tests/data/CoL_WaterUtility_Sept25_2024.dwg"
