Thumbnail preview

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I've recently been given access to a huge drawing library somewhere else, I
have mapped the network drive so I have permanent access to this library.
What I'd like is a simple viewer that will possibly get attributes from the
drawing and display a thumbnail of the drawing file.

Can anyone tell me how to retrieve a Autocad thumbnail using VB?
Will it be possible to scale the thumbnail?

Many thanks

Scott

Excellent, thank you.

Is there a help file available for this control?

Thanks

I dont believe so..

Do you have any specific questions about the control?...I have used it in
the past and remember it to be fairly straight forward....

I prefer using voloview controls for viewing. It's free and and is much
more powerful.

I have successfully fiddled with the Thumbnail control and like you say, it
is quite straight forward. The amount of detail provided by the control of
the drawing not too good, so I think I'll have to go the Voloview control
route. Again I have fiddled with the Voloview control, but if my memory
serves me correctly..... I didn't achieve much.
I'm sure you'll here from me if I can't sort it out.
Cheers for your thoughts people.
