[SOLVED] DWG transformation

[tsafarog]

Hello thank you for reading this

I am trying to use the transformer capabilities of alfresco to get a preview of dwg files.

My sources were:
1)http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformations
and the conversation below eventhout it seems a bit outdated.
2)https://forums.alfresco.com/forum/general/non-technical-alfresco-discussion/autocad-dwg-pdf-transfor...

I am using Community version 5

I have tried the pdf transformation using Irfanview. Irfanview has BabaCAD4Image.dll and i can preview there my DWG documents but i also purchased a licence for CS_DWG.dll to test. Nothing works for me i either get a spining cycle when Alfresco share tried to do the preview or i get :

An error has occured in the Share component: /share/service/components/dashlets/my-sites.
It responded with a status of 500 - Internal Error.
Error Code Information: 500 - An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
Error Message: 06290003 Failed to execute script 'classpath*:alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/dashlets/my-sites.get.js': 06290002 06290003 Failed during processing of IMAP server status configuration from Alfresco: 06290002 Unable to retrieve IMAP server status from Alfresco: 404
Server: Alfresco Spring WebScripts - v1.2.0 (Release 1549) schema 1,000

this is what i have done so far:

I added the mimetype image/x-dwg unders mimetypes-extension-map.xml

Transform to pdf (dwg2pdf-context.xml)

If i add the DGW to PNG transform in the script i cant even get alfresco to load

After doing alterations with no success i tried to make transformer from DWG to PNG and DWG to GIF altering the above script with no success. I am not interested in detailed preview.

Any help would be greatly appreciated to get this working

Thanks in advance

Chris

I have checke alfresco transform souce code ,there is nothing wrong with it.
And I also test it ,you should write it like mine

AcmeCADConverter /r /ad /f 105 /d ${target} ${source} 
‍‍‍

[tsafarog]

yeah the /d switch came to my mind also after your first post … i will try tomorrow morning and let you know

Thank you very much for your usefull input Kaynezhang

[kaynezhang]

You should also use /105 instead of /104.
good luck.

[tsafarog]

and that was it

Transformation works really nice now

Thank you for your help guys especialy Kaynezhang for his inputs

[kaynezhang]
