Plotting a dwg from a Web page

[Anonymous]

We have dwg stored on our intranet that need to be plotted at various
times.I downloaded and installed Volo View, But when I open a dwg on our
intranet I donot have the option to plot. (inside the browser.) All i can
do is a normal browser print...

Did you install the plot module as part of the install? It is a question
that is asked as part of the install. You didn't answer "No" did you?

So did I. And when I fire up the Volo View Executable, there is a Plot
command available under my File menu. Plot is not available from the ActiveX
Control. So it won't show up in a VB app or HTML page. Perhaps that is the
source of confusion. Whereas the Volo View Express motto was to make
everything available in the right mouse button menu and then have the EXE
simply make calls to the control, the Volo View motto is to make the right
mouse button menu the same in the EXE and the control. SO to have a
consistent user experience with the right mouse button, some commands are
not available in the control.

SO, I PAID $195.00 FOR A FULL VERSION THAT HAS LESS FUNCTIONALITY IN A WEB
BROWSER THAN THE FREE ONE?!?!?!?

In all fairness to Autodesk, plotting files is not available in the free on
either. It's just that for your $195, you have to plot from the program
instead of from the control. Your version of Volo View does not let you mark
up from the control either. For that, you must use the program too. This was
an issue for ProjectPoint users who exclusively use the control because they
are using Volo View from within ProjectPoint. You are not alone.
