Try the following search on SourceForge[^]

Best guess is that you have some work to do, but you'll find code to load, parse and even render dxf files ...

The dxf specification is available at:

Googling[^] took me about a minute and the first result[^] seems to be exactly what you need.

I cannot give you any code samples right now. But i have parsed DXF for rendering 3d models.What i knows is DXF file describes a CAD model. Which are basically build using polygons,triangles and lines etc.So in order to covert them in to image, first you need to do following
1.Parse the DXF file(most of the time you don't have to support all tags,Parse just what you need)
2.Render it using opengl or Directx or whatever
3.capture from screen , so now u got the 2d image.

hopes this may help to understand the overall idea. :)
