Examples

Basic Usage

# Extract metadata from a DWF file
result = extract_dwf_metadata("/path/to/drawing.dwf")
print(result["metadata"]["header"]["version"])

# Extract images
images = extract_dwf_images("/path/to/drawing.dwf", "/output/directory")
print(f"Extracted {images['extracted_images']} images")

# Perform visual analysis
analysis = analyze_dwf_visual("/path/to/drawing.dwf", focus_area="general")
print(analysis["visual_analysis"])

Comprehensive Analysis

# Perform complete analysis
result = analyze_dwf_comprehensive("/path/to/drawing.dwf")

# Access different parts of the analysis
metadata = result["metadata"]
images = result["image_extraction"]
visual = result["visual_analysis"]

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. AWS Credentials Error

   • Ensure AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY are set

   • Verify your AWS account has Bedrock access

2. Model Access Error

   • Check if Nova Pro model is available in your AWS region

   • Verify your AWS permissions include bedrock:InvokeModel

3. Image Processing Error

   • Ensure Pillow is installed: pip install pillow

   • Check if the DWF file contains extractable images

4. File Not Found Error

   • Verify the DWF file path is correct and accessible

   • Check file permissions
