    Does anyone know of a program that will allow a thumbnail view of a dwf
    file? I have tried the obvious Volo View Express, and even the WHIP! plugin,
    but I think i'll have to go third party on this one.. Any suggestions?

    A thumbnail view could be achieved by embedding a small instance of the
    Whip viewer object in an html file, perhaps in a table. Take a look at
    this page [http://www.dotsoft.com/temp/untitled.htm], and do a 'View
    Source'. In it you will see what could be considered as 'slightly
    large' thumbnails of width="360" height="300". By the way, this page of
    html was created in just a couple of clicks using DwgBrowser 1.0 from
    http://www.dotsoft.com.

    If you wanted external bitmap representations of the dwf files they
    could be created in code using Whip's DrawCurrentViewToDC Method. But
    as the DWF's changed the bitmaps would become out of date. So its a
    tradeoff of speed -vs- revision maintenance.

    Nearly anything is possible!
