Supported file formats for xref and insert

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Is there any service or way to find out if the image (any extension) getting imported by user is supported by Autocad to include in dwg file as a reference or attachment.

For example:

User tries to insert abc.xyz" file, (extension is xyz), I need to find out if this type of file can be inserted in Autocad.

Regards,

Hemaraju

Hi Dean Saadallah,

Thanks for the prompt reply 🙂

As I mentioned, I wanted to find out if the file type is supported or not in C#.

For example, if user tries to insert/import a bmp file, I want to check if that type of file can be imported or not.

Currently we are maintaining the supported file formats as a hard coded string in the code. We want to get rid of that.

string SupportedImageExtPatterns = "^(.BMP|.GIF|.PNG|.JPE?G)$";

Any suggestion towards this is a great help.

Will be waiting for your reply.

Regards,

Hemaraju
