Hi,

I'm a developer in VB.Net, but I'm very new in the CAD world, so sorry for any stupid question.

I've a little problem. I need to manage some DWG files. I've some dwg files stored in a filesystem and sometimes I need to open it and show on it a label in a x,y position.

I've said show, because I don't want to write any kind of data (a label in this case) on my original DWG, or if I need to write on it, I want to write in a new DWG. Sometimes I need to save in a BMP/GIF or JPEG format or any kind of image formats file.

Any product selled on this site can help me ?

Sorry for my english.

Any example was appreciate [:p]
