look in a dwg-file without autocad?

[Anonymous]

Hallo,
I search a tool (for example as dll) for visual basic to look
in a dwg-file without autocad.
I need the objects, coordinates, layers,... of the drawing.
So I select objects in the drawing and create a new drawing.

Who can help me?


Thanks
Hartmut Callies

If you have AutoCAD installed you can use the ObjectDBX which is basically
AutoCAD without the display and plot functionality which makes it
considerably faster.

Otherwise you can check out the Open Dwg Alliance at http://www.opendwg.org

Hartmut,

You can try ODX.dll from www.opendwg.org. You have to be a member to
download it, but associated membership is free.

The object model is convoluted, but Randall Rath has a partially complete
VBA wrapper class written for it. Look on www.vbdesign.net.
