dwg to dwf via script/asp

[gneissic]

Hello

I want to be able to automatically create a dwf copy of a dwg file whenever a file is uploaded to an ftp server. Is there a script that can be used to accomplish this.

The only way that I have found so far is to write a vb app to open up autcad via automation, but it is VERY slow.

thanks

john

The slow part is probably the loading of AutoCAD.

I was doing something similar, and I ended up leaving AutoCAD open, and just loading the drawing & processing it.

If this is any help, let me know & I'll look out the code
