WhereIsIt? version 3.

95 Copyright (c) 1997-2009 Robert Galle All Rights Reserved AUTOCAD THUMBNAILS IMPORT PLUGIN ================================ The AutoCAD plugin can extract and import embedded thumbnails in AutoCAD's .DWG files, where available. Please note that not all DWG files include thumbnails, and only DWG files created with AutoCAD R13 and newer support thumbnails in the first place. Older DWG files will not cause problems, however they are of no use to this plugin. Full Delphi source code is included. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN ===================== Copy the "AcadPlugin.dll" file in subfolder "Plugins" in WhereIsIt's main folder, for example, "C:\Program Files\WhereIsIt\Plugins". When WhereIsIt is run the next time, it will recognize and include the new plugin module. HOW TO USE IT ============= No configuration options are available or necessary, just have the plugin active when scanning the media. LIMITATIONS =========== This module only handles .DWG files that have a thumbnail image embedded in the .DWG file. Thumbnail can be in either BMP or WMF format - both are supported, in case where both are present BMP thumbnail is used. WMF thumbnails were only supported in AutoCAD R13 and abandoned in R14 and newer. For more details, see the RASTERPREVIEW variable in AutoCAD. HISTORY ======= 1.00 (29. January 2009) ----------------------* Added a workaround to support older types of .dwg files using compression on bitmap thumbnails. 0.10 (13. June 2001) ----------------------* Initial release.
