VectorDraw Developer Framework (VDF) is an easy to program SDK component that every developer need to easily create and manage and print 2D and 3D drawings in his applications. Its objects expose methods and properties that are compatible with most common vector formats and other CAD objects. Supports over 10 vector formats and many raster formats and has the ability to export drawings to PDF. It is fully object oriented (OOP) .NET 2 ready and includes ActiveX component.

VectorDraw Developer Framework (VDF) is a graphics engine-library that can be used from developers in order to visualize their applications. With the functionality provided, our customers can easily create, edit, manage, export, import and print 2d and 3d drawings - graphic files. A powerful format used by VDF named VDML (and VDCL same as VDML but compressed) XML based that supports custom objects and is not depended from the component's version. The library also supports for import-export several vector and  raster formats including native PDF and SVG export.

The geometric algorithms are re-written giving better and faster results. The whole component is in managed .NET 2005 C# code and also a ActiveX component is produced that works as a wrapper to the .NET component for backward compatibility for older development platforms like VisualBasic 6.0 and Delphi.
