Convert AutoCad file into jpg or gif

[christophes]

Hi,

I need to convert .dwg's file (autoCAD drawing file) into picture (like jpg or gif) and that inside Alfresco.

How can I do that? (because it doesn't work by default)

Is a part of the solution to use another convertisor than OpenOfficePortable, because OO doesn't know autoCAD file format, like qCAD or somethings else (but which one?)
And how to start this new program at the server startup (on a windows OS)?


thanks in advance.

I can't help you with how to configure Alfresco for converting dwg to jpg or png or gif, but I don't believe Alfresco doesn't do this out of the box.

You would need to find some software that does this - search on Google for dwg to jpg/png/gif free. Then you would need to "plug it in" somehow.
