Position of Drawing Within Control
Hi,
I am a new user of CADViewX. I am using the control in conjunction with Visual Basic 6. I want to be able to load a pre-existing drawing and then draw on top of the control. I can draw without a problem. But, I need to get the dimensions and the position of the drawing from within the control. I am trying to get this information in either Twips or Pixels.
I would appreciate any help that you can provide. Thank you in advance.

Hello James,
Function <b>PictureRect</b> - returns real dimensions of the image that has to be drawn on the screen.
Property <b>ImageBoundsRect</b> - returns the bounding rectangle of the drawing area of the control.
Property <b>CADViewX1.DXFImage.Extents</b> - returns own dimensions of the drawing.
Property <b>ScaleFactor</b> - sets or gets current scale factor.
Procedure <b>ShowPoint</b> - draws loaded CAD file centered by necessary point with a predefined scaling factor.
You can find several examples with image's manipulating in the <b>CADViewX Control demo for VB</b>. Please see the content of <b>View</b> menu item. <b>Demo for VB</b> lies in the ..\CADViewX\Demos\VB\.. folder after installing CADViewX package available on: http://www.cadsofttools.com/download/cadviewx.zip.
