DrawingSearcher Version 2.0, a technical document portal designed exclusively for AutoCAD drawing files, combines the functionality of a Web server, full text search engine, and Docupoint’s popular Whip-n-Post! DWF (Drawing Web Format) publishing component into a single, easy to use, server application. Designed for use with Autodesk’s Volo View family of drawing viewers, DrawingSearcher provides easy access to large drawing archives within an intranet/LAN environment or over the Internet.
DrawingSearcher’s full-text search engine enables non-technical users to quickly and easily locate drawings by a text search on words contained inside the drawing. Selecting the drawing hyperlink opens the file immediately for viewing within Volo View, Autodesk’s viewing and markup tool for design drawing files. The user interface for DrawingSearcher v2.0 is fully customizable via an open set of HTML files. Users can quickly edit the standard templates provided to build a customized Portal “home page” to serve their organization’s specific needs. DrawingSearcher runs on any Microsoft Window 95/98/NT/2000 computer as the DrawingSearcher server. Client computers require only a browser and Autodesk’s Volo View or Volo View Express viewer.
