At it’s heart, AutoXChange is a conversion engine to convert from various CAD related formats into various publishing ralated formats. One of the most popular CAD formats, especially for civil engineering, road design and pipeline design, is Microstation DGN. The most popular publishing format is Adobe Portable Document Format known commonly as PDF or Acrobat PDF. AutoXChange will convert any recent version of Microstation DGN into PDF.
Command Line Driven
AutoXChange is a command line driven tool. This means it is designed to run from the command prompt or to be used programatically. It does not have a fancy user interface. It is designed to perform high quality, high volume conversions of Microstation DGN files with a high degree of accuracy and minimum of conversion time.
Unicode Fonts
AutoXChange is designed to use Unicode fonts for Multibyte Character languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean and non-Latin languages like Hebrew and Cyrilic-based languages when converting from Microstation DGN to PDF. Fonts are supported as long as they, or a mapped equivalent, are present on the converting system.
Linux and Windows
AutoXChange is available on both Linux and Windows. Most Linux distributions have been tested and are supported.
