We have a client who generates thousands of Autocad drawing files. They are custom product manufacturers drawing at least one drawing per job. The job number is included in the file name at random locations.

Several people in the company need to view these drawings. They do not have Autocad on their computers and do not know how to use it. We wrote a program that scans the network and when it finds a drawing file, it adds it's full path to a database. The employee can search the database for the job number and click a button next to the file name that they want to view.

The program opens the file in a free viewer program in under 3 seconds.

Most popular programs such as Microsoft Office have free viewers available. We write a program to scan your network, or computer, for files that meet your requirements and add it's path to a database file. The program presents you with a list of all files in the database and you can search for the file that you want to view.
