[allupao]

Hello,

I am an italian newbbie. I'd like to know if is it possible to read data from autocad file *.DWG in a labview VI because I need to have dimensions and geometry informations :headbang: .

Sorry for my english

Thanks for all informations

Have the drawing saved in DXF or HPGL (plot file), which is plain Text ASCII - there are routines to open DXFs file in LabVIEW.

There is a routine on www.labuseful.com that can open and display HPGL files.

I'm trying to do this now (read a DWG or DXF File - ideally a DWG File) and have been unable to find any useful file readers for LabVIEW. The only thing I was able to find was Jack Hamilton's HGPL Parser in the Odds and Ends category.

Has anybody done this before?

Thanks in advance!
