>My app is an online viewer of engineering drawings. I use an Acrobat ActiveX control to present the drawing. However, the limitation of the control is to handle only pdf files. Hence, through Catia/Cadam Drafting the drawing is plotted/printed chosing the Acrobat PDF Writer and giving it a file name. My desire is (a long shot) to be able to do all this through code. To send the drawing number desired through the proper functions of the Catia/Cadam Drafting dll(at least to produce a ps file) then through the pfd Writer to make my file viewable. Any suggestions? Does any one know about the Catia/Cadam Drafting functionality?

In case it might help you, AutoDesk has a free viewer called Volo View Express, that can be used to view AutoCAD's DWG files. It can be used as an ActiveX, but I haven't been able to have it work well within VFP. You might be more succesful than I was!
