    Are there any routines or scripts or utilities to simplify the creation of
    i-drop pages? I have a couple hundred blocks I'd like to put onto web pages
    and implement the idrop technology. I'm new to this, so any information
    would help. TIA

    The Publish To Web feature in AutoCAD is worth a look see.

    Mark,

    Thanks for the reply. I'm using AutoCAD 2000i. I tried the publish to web
    feature wich creates a page with Jpeg or Dwfs. The page looks good, but how
    can I implement I-drop with it? I didn't see any option for this...

    The Publish to Web feature introduced the ability to create i-drop in
    AutoCAD 2002 I believe. This functionality is also in the 2004 release.

    I am not aware of a tool that will do the same thing for a 2000i product.

    good luck
    Mark

    I am writing a Lisp to do for me what you want. It creates an i-drop-page
    from the current drawing, with an image (JPG) to display on the page. It
    isn't finished yet, but will be soon.

    A year ago I used the 2000 product, and ScriptPro to generate jpgs of drawings.

    Then I process those with a photoshop utility I wrote in VB, which (among other things) resizes the jpgs to thubnail size, and writes a HTML web page to display those images using the idrop control, and generates the required XML code for the associated drawing.

    I don't yet mention on my web page anything about this part of the Photoshop utility (other than a screen image):

    http://www.well.com/~rhenley/actions.htm

    What the photoshop utility does not do is generate multiple HTML pages for each process run. Web pages with 300 images on them are a bit unwieldly, but initially usable for testing.

    rhenley - the multi-file processing utility
    you mention at your website looks like something my company could really use,
    but you have absolutely no information listed as to availability, etc. Is it
    possible to check this out somehow?
