Dwg, 2d - dxf, files opening thru web dms

Hello,
To open acad drawing files dwg, dxf etc. in viewer thru web dms what needs to be done. (what is the application exe to use ECL viewer)
Thanks.
Anirudh,

Hi anirudh,
If you can view ECLViewer in SAPGUI then no need to maintain seperate original viewer for webdms...
Please make sure that you have maintained application as
EAIWeb.webviewer2D.1 %SAP-CONTROL%
for *.dwg files in SPRO "Define workstation application in network"
also in SPRO at "setup webDMS (BSP)"
mention document types for which you are going to use *.dwg orignals.
Hope above is in order

How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file suitable for SolidWorks?

Hi
Can anyone help?
How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file, without SolidWorks enlarging the file & converting every curve into hundreds of short little straight lines rather than a single continuous line/s.
I have made sure the file is ungrouped or has any compound paths or colours.
Opening it in Autocad 2010 still converts the DWG file into hundreds of short little straight lines!
The file is needed to laser cut out an aluminium shape using SolidWorks 2008 (Metal soft)?
Formats they can handle are:
DWG, DXF, IGES, IGA
There must be a way to export it without re-drawing the whole design in Soildworks again!!??
Can anyone help?

Not really. This is a limitation you will have to live with. Unless you are extremely careful, most paths will be converted to polyline segments by AI and in particular in AI CC this is somehow busted, so it happens more often. You might have much more luck opening a native AI file in DraftSight or a 2D CAD program like TurboCAD and exporting a DWG or 2D IGES/ STEP file from there. The sizing issue is a different matter, but without knowing what units you actualyl used, nobody can advise.

How to highlight searched words in pdf file opens from web??

Hello fellows
I need to create a web page that holds couple controls include "search" button .When client clicks on the button the programm will search pdf file, open it in client reader with highlight on searched words ..
Is that any posibility to do it using javascript on a client or c# ,vb.net on the server ??
I'm very novice in PDF developing so any ideas or conclusions would be very usefull!

Thank you for answer
But maybe you have any idea how I can do it??
This is very important feature for our project.
Some additional information : our project will hosted in SharePoint 2007
When I use adobe Ifilter for moss and set in querystring #search="searchword" I get highlights, but only in a browser.
But if a reader was configured to open client application this feature wasn't work.
Any suggestion ???

Reduce File size on CAD DXF file opened in AI

CS3, Windows XP.
I get DXF CAD files from our Engineering Department. I open them in AI and save them as AI files. Then I place them in InDesign. Then I export a PDF for uploading to my website.
The problem is that every seam in the CAD drawing is 5 or 6 lines. Every screw head is shown. This makes for a large PDF file. There are several drawings in each manual so the PDF is sometimes over 20 meg. It also takes a while for the image to draw as you go from page to page.
Is there anyway (short of spending hours removing lines and screwheads in AI) to simplify the drawings from CAD? Does CS4 have any capabilities in this area?
JAG

If you have multiple identical (or, more likely, nearly identical) paths overlapping, you can probably eliminate that part of the problem with the export settings in the CAD program (which you don't specify). Look for settings to not include hidden lines (assuming you are exporting from flattend 3D models).
Most CAD programs have a collection of export options, and there are multiple "flavors" of DXF. Someone needs to know what they're doing on each end of the export/import workflow.
After getting a reasonable file into AI, try selecting all (excluding Text) and applying the Simplify command with curve accuracy set to 100%.
Once you get the details ironed out, consider recording an Action to automate the steps that work best. For example, I routinely import DXF files exported from CATIA models and the apply an Action that:
Selects all text objects.
Inverts the selection.
Ungroups.
Removes compound paths.
Simplifies paths.
Applies a uniform stroke weight with rounded end caps and joins.
Selects all.
Scales.
Selects all Text objects.
Sets font, size, and weight.
Deselects.
In a consistent workflow, importing the DXFs and doing most of the optimization (as much as it can be optimized) is pretty much a few clicks affair. Dealing with CAD files when you cannot control the export end (as when receiving them from multiple different vendors and softwares) is always a bit of a chore because of the variables.

Slow file opening thru network

Hi,
I've just bought a MacBook Pro 13 (may 2010) running Snow Leopard 10.6.3.
At the office we have a NAS (Network Attached Storage) for file sharing (files with 300Mb).
The connection with the server goes normaly and the navigation thru folders is also normal. However, opening files extremally slow (10 to 15 minutes to open a single 18Mb PowerPoint presentation).
If the same file is local, it opens very fast. Tried using wireless and cable, the last one is a little bit fast, but not much.
Does anybody knows a solution?
Thanks.

One reason this can happen is because in Folder mode OSX creates a preview of the file. To do that, it must transfer the entire file to the OSX machine before it starts to draw the preview. If you are also transferring the file to open it, you have two simultaneous transfers going on which compete for bandwidth and crosstalk. You can prevent this by browsing non-OSX filesystems with the file preview disabled. Note that this is NOT a problem with OSX fileservers since OSX keeps a custom preview icon for fast network browsing.

No 3D data upon DWG or DXF import from ArchiCAD

I have been trying several times to import 3D models that were generated using ArchiCAD 11 & 12 into Acrobat 3D Version 8. I was using different approaches on each attempt. ArchiCAD is not installed on my computer.
Importing the models as .DWG file returns a 2D floor plan drawing while importing as .DXF returns a 2d floor plan that can be moved around and rotated in 3D space. After importing as .DXF the model tree is included in the PDF. However, the 3D data has no 3D information but remains a plain 2D drawing.
Is this an Acrobat 3D issue or is there a way to maintain the 3d data upon importing?
I am no CAD expert at all.
Thanks in andvance.

Adam,
The export filters that you've seen are used in Structured FM when the graphics have been imported by copy (which isn't really a recommended practice in the first place). You set up the read/write rules to specify what format to export the graphics as.
However, if you use a standard workflow where the graphics are imported by reference, there is nothing to export as the graphics are always available externally.
If you're expecting the entire FM "page" to be exported in DWG/DXF format, then this is simply not possible from FM. There are third-party PDF to CAD export utilities available, which may be worth considering if you need the entire page exported.
If your client just wants access to the DWG or DXF files when working through the documentation, then using a tool like Microtype's TimeSavers to create an interactive PDF Portfolio with links to the original CAD files from the FM files would be the route to go. You can also include fully interactive 3D CAD drawings into the PDFs via FM, giving your client the ability to interactively explore parts assemblies in the documentation.
For background on PDF Portfolios, see:
http://www.layersmagazine.com/build-a-better-portfolio.html
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/combining-files-pdf-portfolios
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/acrobat-9-pdf-portfolios
there are quite alot of tutorials and videos on the Acrobat Users site on Portfolios weel worth exploring.

Fresh Install, Now Illustrator won't open any DWG/DXF files???

Hey whats up guys, been having alot of issued with Illustrator (CS2) lately so I did a fresh reinstall.
Everything seemed to be in working order until I tried to open a 2000 DXF file and got the "Unknown format and cannot be opened" dialog.
I was sure that the CAD must be a 2004 or something so I expoted again and got the same issue. Then I looked a bit further and noticed that the File > Open menu doesn't even have an option for DXF/DWG.
What could've caused this feature to get stripped out of a new install? Is there any way to fix this?
Ryan

What's up guys, quick update on the situation.
After some more tinkering around I discovered that Illustrator couldn't even print any documents, as well as discovering some additional errors with the updates and Adobe Bridge.
So somewhere along the line my "Adobe Suite" got all screwed up, I was even starting to get random error messages in Photoshop.
In the end my solution was to uninstall Illustrator & Photoshop, then reinstall them both (PS first.)
That seemed to reinstall a few Shared componenets (like Bridge) which got everything up and running again...glad it worked, but go figure.

Need help! how to open a shared folder thru web browser

Hi to all LV'ers,
as the subject implies, i am trying to find a way to view the shared folder w/in the company network thru web browser. is this possible? is there a much easy way?? i never been used FTP vi's before or any other vi's to deal with this situation but i successfully used web publishing tool to make an access of LV front panel remotely using "web publishing tool". btw, im using LV 8.5.1.
my purpose for this is to let our boss to have a quick access of the data from excel files (w/ "s" because many excel file report is generated everyday for data updates) resided in remote computer (this computer runs the LV program and we can view its front panel remotely thru web publishing tool but i also need to view the folder of this computer that contains files). that is why im finding a way to have an access not only a specific excel file but a specific folder. ofcourse, we can access the shared folder thru "my network places>>entire network>>microsoft windows network" if the folder is shared but our boss is far more convenient if we LV programmers can create a button to automatically lead them to the folder containing files they needed.
I hope anyone already done dealing with this can shared their solutions.
deeply appreciate your help!!
regards,
ivel

Solved!
Go to Solution.

i think what i told in my 1st msg makes things more complicated than what i really need, sorry for that.. but for sure, i need this to be done in LV because the data from excel files was generated by LV program and this LV program is displayed in our web (thru web publishing tool), see picture below.
what i want to do is to add a button here in front panel that when pushed, will show the folder consisting of several excel files. with this, i can choose what particular excel file to be opened. sorry guys i make you confused in my situation. here i attached i simple VI to let me open the excel file but unfortunately when i select the desired excel file, the dialog says "path not found". when i browse and open the excel file manually using "entire network>>microsoft windows network>>remote computer name>> shared folder>>excelfile", i can successfully opened it.
i dont know why i cannot make a valid path using my attached vi. maybe there's something wrong with my program,please let me know. the attached vi is LV 8.5.1. i will used this vi as a subvi later in the front panel shown above.
thanks in advanced for help..!

How to open files from the SAP DMS (DOC Mgt. System) ?

Hello All,
 I making the Transaction CV04N in BSP.
When I execute this CV04N I should give a DOC Nr and the list is generated for this DOC.Now in the List if I select one Record and then Press Display Icon then the content of this list is opened in a new window in it's respective format (PDF,Word,GIF,Image file etc).These are stored in the SAP DMS.
 I want to open a file from this SAP DMS .
This can be done in ABAP using the standard FMs. But in BSP we can't use these FMs as it will call a screen.
The Fm which I'm using is " DOCUMENT_SHOW_DIRECT ".
In Report prog. To this FM I'll pass the
a, DOC Type
b, DOC Number
c, Document part and
d, Document version.
then It'll directly open a PDF file in a new window.
But in BSP how should I acheive this as the FM calls a screen internally.
The content of the documents are stored in the DMS. Is there any TCODE or Table to get the files from the DMS ?
How should I proceed ? can any one help me out.....
Regards,
Deepu.K

Hello All,
 I found the FM : CVAPI_DOC_OPEN_CAD which wil return the file path.
But when I execute this in my BSP since the FM internally calls a screen it fails.
But can anyone tell me the alternative for this.
Should I create a FM omitting the GUI code ?
I found one more thread which says that I can use classes starting with cl_gos*.
But all the classes use a gui.
Dowload a document from R/3 DMS to BSP page
Am I wrong in the interpretation of the logic from the above thread ?
Please suggest me .
I too went thru the BSP Applications CVAW_ENTIRE, CVAW_DOCUMENT_DISPLAY.
But these are used to display only the thumbnails.
There is no code for displaying other formats like PDF,XLS etc.
Please correct me if I'm wrong and let me know the correct path to solve my problem.
Regards,
Deepu.K

Open a dwg(AUTO CAD )file in a jsp pageor servlet

i am try to open a .dwg file in a web browser .i have given content type as a
response.setContentType("image/x-dwg");
or
response.setContentType("image/vnd-dwg");
users has the auto cad software
please respond asap

Having the software installed unfortunately is not enough; the browser has to have a configuration item that says that content-type X is handled by installed application Y. If Autocad is not being triggered for the given content-types, then the browser is not configured properly. See this document for Firefox:

~.DWG/DXF Files not loading - "Meter Limit:100"

I am trying to load some ~.dwg/dxf files from a CD to use with TurboCAD MAC Pro v2.0 on my MBP 2.16GHz Core Duo. When either attempting to open or import the files (they are small ones, only a few KB), the process starts and then almost immediately ceases. I noticed that the Console log shows a message " +------ Started Loading DXF File... Meter Limit: 100+" The files have been checked on both PC and Mac machines by IMSI TurboCAD techies and they are kosher, so it looks as though my machine has some issue. Does anyone know what this "+Meter Limit: 100+" represents and whether it is stopping the loading of these files? Any help or clues about this will be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
George

Just to close this thread:
Apparently, there was a new "build" (version), #657, of this application available that I was not aware of. Upon installing the upgrade, the issue was resolved and I was able to open the files. Thanks to all who offered help and suggestions.

PDF export with link to document defaulting to "Open a web link" instead of "Open a file"

I have a MS Access database and I'm trying to export reports to PDF (I have Acrobat XI Pro) that include a hyperlink to another document on the same drive on my computer. I have tested this with hyperlinked email addresses, and emails export fine to PDF and are still functional, opening a new email in Outlook. The hyperlinks to documents work fine in MS Access, opening a Word, PDF, or other document when clicked.
When I export to PDF, the links to documents say, "This document is trying to connect to: file:" and my filepath. If I say "Allow," the link tries to open in my default web browser, which comes up blank. I've tested this on other computers in our office too. When I right-click the link, I have the option to "Open weblink as a new document" -- this opens the document successfully, but won't be very helpful or fast for our staff. When I examine the link with Tools - Add or Edit Link, I see that the link's action defaulted to "Open a web link" when the PDF was created. This seems like it should be "Open a file." To see if "Open a file" would work in theory, I tried creating a test button in a blank PDF and made the "mouse up" action "Open a file" and linked to various documents on my computer. Each time, the button does not react to being clicked at all, like nothing happened.
I also tried making a basic Word doc with just the hyperlink to another document. It works fine in Word, but, when saved as a PDF, the hyperlink does the same behavior-- tries to connect to the web instead of opening the file on the computer.
I have a lot of experience building Acrobat PDF forms and working in Acrobat, and I'm almost certain I've created links that open another file on the computer in Acrobat before, but I'm out of ideas and an internet search isn't turning up much. I welcome any suggestions for things to try. Thank you!

This is what I currently have, and it attempts to open in a web browser. Do you know of a setting in Acrobat I might need to change, or any other solution to tell Acrobat to open the "file:" URL as a document, not try to start the web browser?

Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.
