Not that the both software will be on the PC where my app should run, so maybe there's a way to use an ActiveX or something else ? I just want to display the file no modify it.

I've used CAD Soft Tools "CAD Import VCL" with D7Ent quite successfully - including getting it working with Report Builder. http://www.cadsofttools.com/en/products/cad_import_vcl.html EdB Back to top Gert de Boom Guest Posted: Fri May 19, 2006 7:15 pm    Post subject: Re: Viewing Autocad and SolidWorks file Quote: is there a way to display autocad and Solidworks files ?

You might take a look www.rasterex.com. They do offer a COM component (RxSDK) for viewing, printing, conversion, comparison, redlining, markup and collaboration functions. On their website they state to have sample programs for Delphi too. It says they support 250 different file formats, including AutoCAD 2005, MicroStation 8.5 and all the most popular 3D formats (CATIA, PRO/E, SolidEdge, SolidWorks etc.). I don't use the component myself, so I can't comment on price or quality.

The user can rotate, zoom pan a 3D model. Regards, Kees Vermeulen Kever-IT John wrote: Quote: Hello, is there a way to display autocad and Solidworks files ?

You can use this ActiveX by importing the type library (Project|Import type library, the library is named 'EModelView 2006 type library' and is located in EModelView.dll). Then this code will add the ActiveX to your form: procedure TModelViewForm.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin FModalView := TEModelViewControl.Create(Self); // Setup some events FModalView.OnFinishedPrintingDocument := FinishedPrinting; FModalView.OnFinishedLoadingDocument := FinishedLoading; FModalView.OnFailedLoadingDocument := FailedLoading; FModalView.OnFailedPrintingDocument := FailedPrinting; FModalView.Parent := Self; FModalView.Align := alClient; end; Opening a document goes as follows: FModalView.OpenDoc(AFilename, False, False, True, ''); All this is is well described in the manual of the API and in the samples accompanying the API installation.
