Hi,

I want to make a vb application to show CAD files ie. Dwg, Dxf, Dwf.

My aim is to display the drawing files on vb form and establish links between them to open different CAD files on same form depending upon the part of the drawing clicked.

Basic idea is to make drwaing mapping in vb such that another drawing can be opened based on the drawing part selected by user regardless of zomming effect.

I have tried with AVVIEWX.dll (Comes with Volo View Express) but it doesn't support hyperlink/link.

Can anybody help me ? Is there any other way of doing it ?

Thanks,

Jay

 
[poke] I've had requests from my clients for the same functionality and all my research has lead to money. The best viewer I found was DWG Viewer 3.0 by Inviso, which is an Active-X control suitable for VB or C++, but when I contacted their sales rep he quoted me $5000 bucks for a developer's license plus royalties per seat!

If anyone has a cost-effective solution I'm interested too.
