DXF, DWG revision integration

[cariou]

Hi,

I need to integrate some tools like Brava Viewer and/or Brava Enterprise on Alfresco.

The goal is to give users the ability to view, print, measure, anotate (Markup) CAD files (and even PDF files) without having the native software installed.
Morover, the Texts Markups should be attached to the Document sheet, in order to be compared from one version to another.
Another need is the hability to compare graphically 2 revision of a same CED file.

The Brava tools seems to be the rights ones for what I need.

It provides an integration Framework (also used for integration with other ECM tools like Documentum, SharePoint, McLaren, HummingBird, etc…).

My asks are :
- Has anybody made something like this with Alfresco ?
- Do you think it can be done ?
- Do you know other tools for that ?

Hello,
has someone experiences with this topic?
I am especially interested in Extracting/Saving Meta-data and Viewing/Redlining CAD documents directly in alfresco.
Thank you.

I dont know if you had this answered, but did you investigate ViewONE Pro from Daeja, it already has been integreated into Alfresco?

Alfresco 3.3 has a built in metadata extractor for DWG files - ALF-2262

this is very timely to what i am researching today. can you please elaborate a bit on your experience? are you referring to:
- DWG file properties (microsoft default Dublin core stuff)
- DWG Custom Properties (autodesk enabled 10 field limit defined from within AutoCad but accessible outside AutoCad from Windows Explorer)
- AutoCad graphical objects like  Block 'Attributes' within the DWG
- AutoCad non-graphical objects like 'Fields' within the DWG

Is it possible to merge them to view files in Alfresko Share?
