Autocad DWG format

Hafed BenteftifaAug 22 2008 — edited Sep 10 2008

Hello,

I have the following requirement. In one of my oracle reports rdf output, I need to include an autocad drawing. This one is initially sent by the architect team to a network NAS in the format DRAWING_XXX.dwg. So, we have a bunch of these drawings that can be requested any time.

Since reports 6i does not support the DWG format, I wrote vbscript routine that does the conversion DWG -to- DXF -to- JPG using 2 separate conversion tools. As such, the image in the jpg format can be used in reports 6i. The whole conversion process was implemented on a windows server.

However, now we are moving to Oracle 10g hosted on a UNIX machine. So, the whole conversion stuff will no longer be working.

Question: Are there any workaround for Oracle Reports 10g so that we can use the original drawing in DWG format or does someone who has had a similar prob found a solution for DWG -to- DXF -to- JPG on UNIX ?

Thanks for any input.
