<thud> <thud> <thud> (That's me banging my head on my desk - I have almost EXACTLY the same notes to myself about using descendents in my notes... <sigh>) Thanks. I'm a little red-faced - code converting to metafiles is working just fine now. I'm currently testing with D7 Enterprise (but I have RadS...

Hi - any follow-up on this?

I have to decide very shortly whether to revert to v6.1, or continue trying to make v9.1 work for me.

Thanks!

I'm trying to overcome a problem in using CADImportVCL with Report Builder. The problem (in v 6.1 and v9.1) is that loading a .DWG into a Report Builder ppImage causes any text to be rendered incorrectly on the report canvas. In 6.1, DXFs did not affect text renders correctly. In 9.1, anything desce...

Sent - and thanks for quick follow-up!

I'm trying to update my code from 6.x to 9.1 I'm having great difficulty in getting Report Builder to work. So, back to simplest demo programs - I'm seeing memory leaks in the"Getting Started" demo. procedure TForm1.LoadFileClick(Sender: TObject); is missing: vPicture.Free; But, even with that... - ...

Follow-up... I (finally) upgraded my copy of Report Builder from RBPro 7.04 to RBPro 14.08. In order to get my report to work with the new RB version, I had to set the ppReport to the 'old page view style'. ppReport1.PreviewFormSettings.SinglePageOnly := true; The default is false - to "...enable th...

I've sent a request for quote.

Is there another way to do this? Is there any way that I can get the xrefs to look "somewhere else" in code?

Cheers,

This topic subject looks like something I am very interested in. Unfortunately I can't read anything here... I am looking for a way to specify a path to search for XREFs in the same way that a path to fonts can be specified. That is, most of my customers use "title blocks" that are an XREF in every ...

I looked at their source for TppImage: TppImage = class(TppCustomImage) ... published property Picture; ... end; TppCustomImage (TppCustomComponent) ... FPicture: TPicture; ... Public property Picture: TPicture read GetPicture write SetPicture; ... end; function TppCustomImage.GetPicture:TPicture; b...

Hi Sergey, I know - I tested with sgImage and even by loading into a TImage before posting here (but thank you anyway for supplying more test code). It works with TsgImage and TImage. The problem is I've written a lot of code around a module that uses IsWithoutBorder with Report Builder's TppImage c...

I've been using CADImportVCL with Report Builder for some time now. I managed to get everything working nicely, including "IsWithoutBorder" with Report Builder's TppImage. ( also see: http://www.soft-gold.ru/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=102 and http://www.soft-gold.ru/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=103 ) Sinc...

(Been out of town for about 2 weeks). Only one client uses metafiles - the others are using DXF/DWG so this isn't an issue. The metafile user has decided to "wait and see" if the white-lines-on-black drawings "are a problem." I have the feeling they will get their CAD operators to eliminate the meta...

Thanks Sergey, I'll add this to the previewer - let the user toggle invert on/off as required. The application uses ReportBuilder - and loads/prints wmf files without user intervention. Unfortunately not ALL the emf/wmf files are "black background" - a rather large amount have no background and red,...

I have a large amount of .wmf/.emf files where the background is black with white lines (exported from a CNC laser cutter program). I'd like to set this to grayscale or invert - black lines on a white background prior to printing. Is there a way of loading metafiles into a TSgDXFImage such that I ca...

I've recently started using FastMM (http://sourceforge.net/projects/fastmm/)in my Delphi projects - there's a noticeable performance improvement, and it also incorporates some useful memory leak detection. My first attempt to use it with CADImportVCL causes an AV when trying to perform Image1.Pictur...
