• Fixed the problem that URL links did not show correctly the tooltips
• Fixed the background color problem that CV did not display correctly for dwf 00.36
• Added the capability to read Greek characters in the dwf drawings
• Fixed the printing problem that if drawing was printed out for some drawings, a weird pattern of circles were all over the place. The circles were not in the original drawing, and didn't show when the dwf file was seen in the viewer on-screen, they only appeared when printed.
• Fixed the bug that CADViewer could not display some compressed binary dwf 5.5 files
• Fixed the bug that CADViewer does not display filled polygons
• Added parameter "URLClick" to control the number of clicks for URL links

• Added new parameter "redlinefilledgreyscale" with value "enable" to have redline filled objects always printed in grey scale. The default is to print redline filled objects with their current color.
  • < param name="redlinefilledgreyscale" value="enable">
  • Available values: "enable" and "disable"
• Added new parameters "conversionparameters_autox", "conversionparameters_hpx", "conversionparameters_acrox", "conversionparameters_dgnx", "conversionparameters_acrowhip" and "conversionparameters_autowhip". These parameters are used exclusively with "conversionparameters" in case that different drawing format are loaded in the same session. For example, If a dwg file is opened, parameter "conversionparamters_autox" will be used. Then later a pdf file is loaded, param "conversionparameters_acrox" will be used. If one expects that users will open dwg, dgn and pdf files, then the html that launches CADViewer should contain:
  • < param name="conversionparameters_autox" value="-B 1 -R">
  • < param name="conversionURL_acrox" value="-B 1">
  • < param name="conversionURL_dgnx" value="-B 0">
• Fixed the problem that when measurement scale was set, it scaled the original units instead of the current units
• Fixed the problem that when Black/White button was clicked twice, the background color became white
• Fixed the problem that the measurement highlight yellow box is not consistently large enough for the complete measurement value to be displayed and the 'T' in the word 'Total' was truncated. The highlight yellow box is now displayed at the center of CADViewer screen to avoid being cut off when the box is displayed near the edge of the screen
• Fixed the problem that CADViewer does not display drawing that its name contains one or more blank spaces
• Added new module to read "symbol" font and this module enables CADViewer to read Greek letters
• Added new parameter "textrotation2" to have rotated text displayed with "times" font. The default font of rotated text is "romans". This new parameter requires to have folder "fonts" in the codebase folder. The values for this parameters are "disable" and "enable".
• Added new parameters "conversionURL_autox", "conversionURL_hpx", "conversionURL_acrox", "conversionURL_dgnx", "conversionURL_acrowhip" and "conversionURL_autowhip". These parameters are used in conjunction with "conversionURL" in case that the converion programs are installed on different servers. For example, if autoxchange, hp2xchange are installed on a Linux server, acroxchange is installed on an Unix server and dgnxchange is installed on a Windows machine, then the html that launches CADViewer should contain:
  • < param name="conversionURL" value="http://linuxserver.com/serlvet/ConversionServlet">
  • < param name="conversionURL_acrox" value="http://unixserver.com/serlvet/ConversionServlet">
  • < param name="conversionURL_dgnx" value="http://windowsserver.com/cgi-bin/ConversionCgi.pl">

• Added new parameter "progressbar". If this parameter is used, CADViewer will dislay a progress bar telling users that the drawing is loading
• < param name="progressbar" value="enable"
• Default value is "disable"
• Fixed the bug that CADViewer was very slow when it generated the print output
• Fixed the bug that CADViewer was halted when it opened some dwf 6 files

Version 7.2.1

• Added new parameter "redlineparams". If this parameter is used in conjuntion with parameter "save_redline_to_url" ,CADViewer allows administrators to have a complete control of all saving redline parameters. The values are in the form of a list delimited by '&' character . The only parameter provided by CADViewer in addition to this list is the parameter "red". "red" is a reserved parameter for CADViewer and its value is the content of the redline file.
  • The following is an example of how to use parameter "redlineparams" and "save_redline_to_url" to send user define parameters back to the server together with the redline content
  • < param name=redlineparams value="param1=value1&param2=value2&param3=value3&...&paramN=valueN">
  • < param name=save_redline_to_url value="http://www.xyz.com/cgi-bin/any_cgi_script.cgi>
  • If parameter "redlineparams" is not used with parameter "save_redline_to_url", then CADViewer takes all user defined parameters following the '?' after the script name and adds other CADViewer reserved parameters such as "dn","na","saveURL" and "saveLocation"
• Fixed the problem that when the parameter "background_color" was set in the html or in the viewer.cfg file, then the set_background_color button did not function
• Fixed the problem that arcs were shifted
• Fixed the problem that layers list sorted in unsorted order
• Fixed the problem that if 'Display Black/White' was clicked a 2nd time after a non-default background color had been selected, the display reverted to white.
• Fixed the problem that if Print Black/white was selected, then the dwf file objects were printed in black/white, but redline objects were printed in greyscale.

  SetAppletParameter(String param, String value)

  This parameter will either overwrite the existing parameter defined in the
  html file or create a new one if the parameter is not defined.

  Here is the example on how to use it

  <script language=javascript>
  function openfile()
  {

  document.applets[0].SetAppletParameter("preload_readonly_redline","./v7pro/d
  emo.red;./v7pro/demo2.red;");

  document.applets[0].SetAppletParameter("open_redline_with_drawing","initial"
  );
