I don't know anything about the suggested
component, but I can tell you that Inventor's API doesn't support any
functionality that will do what you want so you will need to use some other
component.

I have used inVisoX sucessfully, but I'm not sure it's still available.
May have been replaced by this http://www.bravaviewer.com/viewers.htm

Thanks.
Kadmos DxfReader activeX control works with my application. I tried its trial version, its banner displays for 3 seconds every time. but it's founctional. That's good enough for my course project to show dxf drawings.

I also tried this Brava free dwg viewer, it does not recognize dxf file generated by Inventor 2010. it says "Invalid file".

Save your DXF's as an older version than 2010.
