cad2shape convert polygon

[jjo]

Hi i'm kind of new to programming and i been looking at the VB DLL example program.
I want to program it so it only converts dwg to polygons. The example program converts to text and line but where do i change so it also converts to polygon?

Can someone also help me with some info about the info file? what is it and how is it used?

thanks,

Joakim

Hi Joakim,

(1) I would recommend initially running tests using the cad2shape.exe in command line mode (DOS window), i.e. rather than using the DLL straight off. This will make it easier to test that you have got the right switches for the output that you are trying to get.

(2) For polygon output use the switch /SHP=POL

Example:

c:\cad2shape\cad2shape.exe /SHP=POL c:\cad\cadfile.dwg
