View Autocad Drawings inside Delphi application

Question

Is there a way ( ole or component ) to view Atocad 2004-2011 drawings inside Delphi application ?

Answer 1

I don't know for sure, but if you have AutoCad installed on your PC, try importing the ActiveX. It's in the Delphi IDE under Component | Import Component... | Import ActiveX Control. That'll show the list of available ActiveX gizmos. See if there's anything there that looks like AutoCad. If so, you should be able to make it work ON YOUR PC. To make it work on ANY PC, you'd need a free or licensed viewer that can handle AutoCad.

CadSoftTools offer CAD Image DLL or CAD Import VCL
