using Aspose.CAD.FileFormats.Cad;
using Aspose.CAD.ImageOptions;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

Step 1: Load the CAD Image

// The path to the documents directory.
string MyDir = "Your Document Directory";

using (CadImage cadImage = (CadImage)Image.Load(MyDir + "City skyway map.dwg"))
{
    // Your code for Step 1 goes here
}

Step 2: Customize Rasterization Options

CadRasterizationOptions rasterizationOptions = new CadRasterizationOptions();
rasterizationOptions.PageWidth = 1000;
rasterizationOptions.PageHeight = 1000;

// Custom sizes for several layouts
rasterizationOptions.LayoutPageSizes.Add("ANSI C Plot", new SizeF(500, 1000));
rasterizationOptions.LayoutPageSizes.Add("8.5 x 11 Plot", new SizeF(1000, 100));

Step 3: Define PDF Options

PdfOptions pdfOptions = new PdfOptions() { VectorRasterizationOptions = rasterizationOptions };

Step 4: Save as PDF

cadImage.Save(MyDir + "singlePDF_out.pdf", pdfOptions);

Now you have successfully created a single PDF document with different layouts using Aspose.CAD for .NET. Feel free to explore more features and customize the code according to your specific requirements.
