I tried with the following settings: bSearchSHXPaths := False; sSHXSearchPaths := ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0)); bUseSHXFonts := True; sDefaultSHXFont = simplex.shx And put the simplex.shx font in the app folder. This works then. I guess the user has a font installed on the computer which cannot be r...

Using SHX fonts seem to off by default so i tried turning them on. We'll see if that works on the client's PC. Strangely turning SHX fonts on solves the 'new' issue on my PC. We have noticed that this issue may be linked to AutoCAD itself. On computers where AutoCAD is installed (I have AutoCAD 2011...

Hello Alexander, If i could reproduce this problem easily it would be nice :). But so far it's only on this clients PC (laptop actually). I have looked for myself on this PC with remote desktop and i can't find anything out of the ordinary. The DWG files i can open on my own PC with no problems so i...

Just got a reply from the client and the Viewer.exe gives the same problems.

Yes under both 32 and 64 bit, both hang.

I received a beta version of V8.0 for XE2 so i compiled the 8.0 (XE2 beta) and 8.1 under XE2.

I will try sending the viewer demo to the client, see if that works.

The file is accessable. As i said earlier if we make a build using CADimport VCL 8.0 it works fine. When we build using V8.1 it doesn't work. It hangs. So far on most computers it works fine. We just have two clients with Windows 7 now where we have this issue, they are unable to open any CAD files....

Hello Alexander,

I'm not using the TOpenPictureDialog. I'm directly calling the TPicture.LoadFromFile and it's hanging there.

We've asked them to run with administrator rigths and it still isn't working.

Hello, We're having a similar issue i think. On a specific Windows 7 PC open a DWG just doesn't work. While loading/opening the tools get 'stuck'. The apllication uses max CPU and never finishes loading. This is with V8.1 of the Import VCL component compiled under Delphi XE2. Just to test we sent th...

Hello,

We're in the process of migrating our development environment to Delphi XE2 mostly for 64bit support.

So the question is are you working on a release for XE2 (hopefully also fully 64bit compliant) and if so when could we expect that to arrive?

Regards,
Roland.

This is one of the issues we had - when zooming in or out you can't interrupt drawing in CAD import VCL. We also work a lot with very large DXF/DWG files. We did manage to modify the source code so that you can interrupt the drawing when you want to zoom in or out. This way you don't need to wait fo...
