Volo View object & 2000/2000i

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have an app that uses a Volo View object.
In AutoCAD 2000 it works fine, but in 2000i I get the message -
Failed to get object for CLSID:{6C9FD3CA-78FA-11D2-9208-0060B0870404}

Any ideas what I need to do?

TIA

My initial guess is that the DWG file format has changed in 2000i.

Joe - I just tried out a 2000i-format drawing with a VB6 app that uses the
VoloView Express component, and it loads OK.

Bruce - Are you trying to use the VoloView component in stand-alone VB, or
VBA inside 2000i?

My suggestion is to punt. I don't think that VVE will support the A2Ki
object. I haven't tried the newest release but I couldn't get it to work.
I have a Catalog program that works great in 14.01 but crashes terribly in
A2Ki

Good luck.

It works fine in VB5, and A2K VBA, but not VBA in AutoCAD 2000i.
I created an VBA app that reads a symbols database, populates certain text
fields on a form (i.e. layer name, insert scale, etc), and displays a view
of the symbol in the Volo View object. I could use another option, but I
wanted to avoid creating slides and dwf's.

Thanks
Bruce

Hi Bruce - I just tried it in A2Ki and it crashed on me too. It loaded the
drawing fine, but when I closed the user form it crashed. Sigh. If you don't
need to zoom & pan around (as suggested by your comment about slides), would
the DwgThumbnail.ocx meet your needs? I'm using it for my symbol
library-type program.

I also was spoiled by the graphic resolution of Volo View. How is the
DwgThumbnail?

Hi Bruce - Sorry it's taking me so long to reply to your messages, I don't
frequent this NG as often as I should. About your question - the graphics in
the DwgThumbnail appear much the same as in ACAD's File Open preview panel.
Ok for simple objects like symbols you might have in a library, but not much
good for large drawings with small differences.
