cryptical33 Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Does this exist? I would very much like to rtfm. Quote
ReMark Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I didn't think anyone was using Volo View any more. Why the docs? Quote
cryptical33 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Posted November 10, 2009 LOL, I didn't either but times are hard. I work for a furniture manufacturer and they are currently trying to print out sub-assembly drawings and keep them in a physical binder. We have several thousand subs and to keep up with this will be a nightmare. I was working on a vb front-end using the voloview, or truview if thats the new one, with the intention of putting a terminal out where the subs are built giving the guys on the floor access to view drawings. I was just looking for anything before I started to just guess at the functionality of this control. If there is a better way to do this that'd be great also. Quote
ReMark Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 So DWG Trueview is not acceptable? Yes, VoloView 3 is still available. Go here: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=3239384&siteID=123112 Look near the bottom for the words download Volo View. Be warned it is a 91+MB file. VoloView will be discontinued at the end of 2009. Quote
cryptical33 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks for the links, I have that part of it, I also have the true view as well. I have not read much about the trueview, does it integrate into vb as a control as well? I just started looking into this last week so all options are open. Any Ideas on where to find vba (access) + trueview coding samples? Outside of voloview not being supported what are the advantages of using trueview? Quote
ReMark Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Coding samples? Have you tried the AutoDesk website? Quote
cryptical33 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Posted November 10, 2009 Yeah not much there, I want to use is as an active x control and autoload the drawings based off info queried from a mysql db. Quote
ReMark Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Well you're way over my head (doesn't take much these days). Did the best I could do at the moment. Sorry. Quote
ReMark Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 The best I can come up with re: Active X Control references Volo View Express. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=2871416&linkID=9243222 Quote
