Hi,

I have been involved in writing a site to display AutoCAD drawings (

http://www.SpiraxSarco.com/cad/application.asp).

The drawings are first shown as GIF thumbnails. When a user clicks on these they are taken to a Preview window where a DWF (Drawing Web Format) version of the DWG is displayed which the user can zoom, pan, rotate, all through the browser. There is also capability for the user to drag and drop the DWG directly into their AutoCAD window from the browser window without the need to save the DWG to their hard-drive first (This uses i-drop technology).

If any of this sounds useful to you then let me know and I'll explain more.

Hi,
Thankyou for your reply.
I need the answers for the following.

1.Rather than the conversion of .dwg files,is it possbile to embed .dwg files from AutoCAD into InternetExplorer,so that it is opened in read only mode.The AutoCAD software needn't be installed in the system.

2.How can we lock the source code of a webpage(HTML/ASP)codings.

3.How to pass parameters from VB to AutoCAD to open it.ie(The parameter is the filename of AutoCAD and that particular file should be opened in AutoCAD).


Iam in great struggle regarding my project.Kindly help me.

Thanks

Let me see if I've understood you correctly. You want users to click on a DWG on a website and for that DWG to open in AutoCAD on the users computer.

You asked in your first post if it was possible to convert DWGs into GIF/JPG. I believe that the PublishToWeb wizard in AutoCAD will do this for you. Tony

Hi,

Thankyou for ur reply.

It is not clicking .dwg files in website and opening it in AutoCAD.Instead the .dwg files which is in AutoCAD will be selected using VB codings(ie from VB, the selection will be made and the selected drawing should be picked from AutoCAD) and it(drawing) should be displayed in Internet Explorer.There is no connection with internet.It should run through HTML/ASP codings(ie in IE)
thankyou
