Please install the Latest CAD Image Plugin.

Please install the Latest CAD Image Plugin.

Tanks for your advice, but this Dll of third part is not for free.
I hoped that IrfanView would solve its own problems...
Anyway, many thanks.

Again the question: Do you use the last update of the CAD Image Plugin?

see:

(Click on this screenshot to go to IrfanView plugins!)

Please consider:

• Not all program components and/or plugins for IrfanView are freeware!
• With the program update from version 6 to version 7 the CADImage plugin insert watermarks!
  (But also the old version doesn't work without errors! The old version CADImage V6.1.0.53 doesn't display the svg format correctly!)
  See also the german thread: "v4.25: Fehler beim Öffnen von SVG-Dateien"
• And the single plugins were always trial versions and have only changed some time ago the text inside of the watermark!

Thus it's your decision, to try/use the old version CADImage V6.1.0.53 instead of the current version!
But if your problem concerns also the svg format, there exist e.g. the program Adobe® SVG Viewer (plugin for internet explorer) or another svg plugin as alternative!
Maybe there exist also other free programs for viewing the dxf and/or dwg format!

yes, thank you, but I again notice you that in the download section there is stuff that does not work

[Frank]

Please upload sample files for the dwg and dxf format! Then we can check it also!
Compress your files into zip or 7z format and then upload to the forum!
Or try www.imageshack.us or another image hosting service!

Ok, I installed again the old vers. CADImage V6.1.0.53.zip (thanks) and I don't have problem with all my dxf and dwg.
But it is only the new version for free that does not work (out of resources message).
I uploaded a standard dwg vers. (IntelliCAD 2000) in my space, here:

http://www.imitidicthulhu.it/Bridge/ARREDO1.zip

but all the dwg files (and DXF files) are unreadable with the DLL new version for free.


note:
CADImage DLL in the file CADImage V6.1.0.53.zip (2007) is WORKING
CADImage DLL in the file iv_formats.zip (separate plugin 2009) is working but it has the mark with invitation to buy
CADImage DLL in the file irfanview_plugins_425_setup.exe (all the plugins installer 2009) does not work on my pc

my poor idea: the dwg format is a owned format (AutoDesk) and so to pay is reasonable, but the DXF is free for eXchange and it would be nice to be distributed for free

That's what I say:

With the program update from version 6 to version 7 the CADImage plugin insert watermarks!

Please consider:

• It's the free decision of the plugin developer to offer his plugin(s) as freeware or shareware!

CADImage DLL in the file irfanview_plugins_425_setup.exe (all the plugins installer 2009) does not work on my pc ...

I can't confirm that!
I always use the "all in one" packet as "one large EXE"!
And I've no problems to see your dxf file!
[Except the watermark (using "CADImage.dll V7") to remember the purchase information!]
The mistake in your configuration must have to be found in other place!

You should contact the plugin author for such an idea!

I did not think because normally I use many CAD programs without any problem, I will try to solve. Thank you.

[Frank]

Please report, if you find a solution!

Ok, now all is working, I changed the name of my old plugin folder, and downloaded again
irfanview_plugins_425_setup.exe
I installed it and now the DLL is (with watermarks) working.
Thank!
