Shell Extensions for Drawing Files

vistasp — Tue, 02 May 2006 03:38:50 +0000

Here’s some freeware that will make it easier to sort and find drawing files in Windows Explorer. DWGcolumn which can list files by the version of AutoCAD in which it was saved is extremely useful. The screenshots on the site make the use of each utility quite clear.

Drawing Gateway

vistasp — Sat, 29 Apr 2006 13:42:29 +0000

If you’re using a slightly old version of AutoCAD, you’ll find yourself cursing those who send you drawings in the latest format because they won’t open properly on your system. Clean up your language – DwgGateway is here to help. It can open and save-as from and to just about any version of *.dwg files.

Lest you think this is the work of some frustrated guy who can’t afford the latest from AutoDesk, think again. DwgGateway comes to you from SolidWorks who probably feel that if you can’t beat the giants, you can at least be a thorn in their flesh.

Oh, and while this is a Â« Must Have Â» software, please don’t get excited about its PDF writing capabilities – they’re nothing to write home about.
