I have created a database of our drawings we use here at work. Is there a way to view the drawing in AutoCAD from within Sesame after I have made a search?? I tried using and @shell command...but I was not able to do it Undecided  partly because I didn't know how  Undecided if it is possible.

If AutoCad allows it, you should be able to do it. For most programs, it would look something like:

var vShell as Int
vShell = @Shell("C:\ThePath\autocad.exe " + MyFilename)

If it doesn't work, let us know what it is doing.

What version of AutoCad are you using? 

I may be able to duplicate up through version 2005, Mechanical.

We are using Autocad 2002

Here is what I have on the database.
It didn't work for me.

I would like to be able to choose and load the drawing of whichever search it finds.

When I did the test it did not give any errors.
It did not do anything when I selected a drawing from the database?? Lips Sealed

I believe it will look something like this. I do not have Auto Cad to test it.

Code
Select All
 Var vShell as Int
Var vDoc as String
Var vAutoCad as String

vAutoCad = @Chr(34) + "C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2002\acad.exe" + @Chr(34)
vDoc = @Chr(34) + DWGLocation + "\" + DWGName + ".dwg" + @Chr(34)

vShell = @Shell(@Chr(34) + vAutoCad + " " + vDoc + @Chr(34))


DWGLocation(I am assuming that is the name of your element) needs to have the complete path to the folder ex I:\Master\Cadd\Details
