opendwg libraries for autocad 2008
opendwg libraries for autocad 2008
hi,
we are in process of upgrading our autocad software from version 2002 to version 2008. we have written our customized application (in c++) to process the autocad drawings (create, issue, bom, change title) using the opendwg libraries. will the existing opendwg libraries will be useful with autocad 2008?
if not can someone provide some information on dwgdirect and dwgdirectx libraries? which libraries will have minimal code changes impact to process autocad 2008 drawings.
please help me on this issue.

current dwgdirect and dwgdirectx libraries support dwg/dxf up to autocad 2009.
if your existing code uses legacy opendwg toolkit it would need to be rewritten.

hi sslezkin,
thanks for your prompt response. if the legacy opendwg application is to be re-written with dwgdirect and dwgdirectx libraries, can you please suggest the best option for the code rewite in .net 2008. this will be helpful in choosing the platform for the code rewrite.
thanks

the dwgdirect.net interface could be the best option for .net project but it's under development and we have no firm time frame yet for it to be finished.
currectly available are c++ interface (dwgdirect) and activex interface (dwgdirectx).
which platfrorm is the best option depends on your taks. activex interface has limited functionality (compared with c++ one) but it may satisfy your needs.
in some cases possible decision could be writing something in c++ with .net wrappers for calling it from .net

dwgdirect.net
do you have any details on the dwgdirect.net libraries? news bulletins or something?
dwgdirect.net is supposed to have the same interface as autocad's .net.
the timeframe is not determined yet.
