CADimage.dll - only black and white

Post by jojo2000 » 06 Jun 2005, 12:52

Hi,
I just installed CadImage.dll. The problem: i only can view and print dwg-files in black and white. How can I view it in color?
(during installing with CS-Manager the field "color mode" was marked in COLOR)

With best regards

Hi,
CADImage.DLL draws dwg, dxf, hpgl files as a DIB (kind of bitmap). That's why there are some restrictions caused by Windows system resources. For example if the resolution of image is set by CS-Manager to 4001 and higher it loses its color. There are two ways for getting out of the arisen situation.
1. Setting by the CS-Manager the resolution of image to 4000 and lower.
2. Using the ABViewer 5. It is available on download link: http://www.cadsofttools.com/Download/ABViewer.zip
The fact-finding information about the ABViewer 5 is available on: http://www.cadsofttools.com/?PageName=ABViewer
