View Full Version : Retrieving the bitmapped image from within the AutoCAD *.dwg

After accumulating several hundred AutoCAD drawing and the need of finding a particular drawing quickly, I wrote an Access database that allows me to search through the description list I created that couples to a AutoCAD drawing. It works great.

What I would like to do is to also display the bitmapped image of the drawing that's saved with the drawing, adding another dimension to the database.

Does anyone now how to retrieve the bitmapped image from within the AutoCAD *.dwg file programmatically using VB or VBA.

Thanks,
Ron
