Is there a way to show an AutoCAD drawing in a vb form.I can convert it to jpeg but what i want is to show the up,down,sides and 3dview of the drawing like autocad does.
There are some tools on the market with .NET-viewers for autocad-files, but I have yet to find a free tool that works as it should work. You could start writing your own code, but it takes a lot of time (and the autocad documentation is not the best documentation I have ever seen)
just see the acad help. i know from experience that there is also some help for the vb api (or search the damn acad namespace that came with your program)=))
SolidWorks (www.solidworks.com) has a free CAD viewer that works for both AutoCAD and SolidWorks drawings in 2D or 3D. You can zoom, rotate, print, etc.
Search for eDrawing 2006 on their site. The program installs an OCX that I have used within a VB6 database application.
