Read AutoCAD files though DocuWare document viewer

HI all,

Is anyone experience the document view cannot open AutoCAD file?

Thanks.

Yes, I have an account that has certain AutoCAD files that will not render.  I believe it is something to do with all the external referneces they have in those files that have not been cleaned up before posting it.  However, I have never been able to narrow it down to a more exact reason.

For them the solution is to modify the C:\program files (x86)\common\docuware\imaging\DocuWare.Imaging.Worker.config file and change the rendering engine for the DWG file type as follows.

<add filetype="AutoCad" extensions="dwg, dxf, dwf" decoders="Stelleent, AnyDWG"/>

This allows them to be viewed by makes the image less clear and hard to zoom.  However, the file can still be downloaded and viewed in AutoCAD with regular clarity.

Sorry mispelled "Stellant"

Hi Craig,

Be careful as the Stellent viewer is not integrated any more (starting in V7) in DocuWare

We had big trouble to view vsd or vsdx (Visio) files

Interesting.  My example is a v7.2 OPrem Enterprise System.

If your 7.2 is from a 6.12 (or older) version the Stellent is still installed (it not de installed by the upgrade)

But if you install a V7 or more,  you do not get the Stellent viewer

We had the "surprise" when reinstalling in 7.2 a customer. No more vsd viewer :-(

Good to know.  Thanks for the info.
