    Default Can you access Autodesks DwgViewer with VBA?

    Can Autodesks DwgViewer be access using VBA? If it can, can it be opened to a specified .dwg file?

    Which viewer are you talking about? The free viewers can only use dwf and yes you can specify filename, initial view, etc. Check out this link.

    I was refering to the DwgViewer that comes with the full version of Composer. I'll search the link you gave me and see what I can come up with though.

    What DWGViewer??? It's an LT version of LT! An 800MB install file does not constitute a viewer in my book. -- okay that rant was targeted to Adesk, not you

    I haven't been able to find a way but I honestly didn't look very hard. Since this is not a control, or an add-on in the generally accepted concept, you're better off either:

    1. biting the dwf bullet and use them
    2. resort to full acad w/ vb/vba/vb.net/c#
    3. resort to LT w/ dde
    4. use a 3rd party viewer - dwgviewer CANNOT be distributed so you'll need to purchase Composer for each seat you distribute this too anyways
    5. join OpenDwg or whatever name it goes by now and use their libraries to create your own viewer.
