dwf in .Net
« on: June 15, 2006, 04:13:39 PM »
Does anyone know what files are needed to access the dwf stuff for autocad in .Net?  Im trying to write an app that will allow you to batch print DWF's

ok, question, I'm using C#.  the source files are C++.  can I use them at all?

I guess the reason I ask is I thought the new thing with dot net was the ability to use different programming languages in your program.  Am I way off base?

I have no idea about dwf but if you have an api and some samples in C++ you can do this using DllImport to use the exported functions of the api.

Can't help with DWF yet David.
Mark <the Man here> asked me yesterday to put it on my list ... so perhaps you will have it sorted out by the time I'm free to look. :-)

David,

You should check out plotting, the dwf issue will merely be a driver selection for autocad.
