Jun 22, 2004 Thread starter #5 IFRs Petroleum Nov 22, 2002 4,658 The Infograph viewer did not show 3D objects as anything but wireframe. A check on their web site reveals that it is 2D only. Rats. Nice try though!! Upvote 0 Downvote

Jun 26, 2004 #6 PeterCharles Mechanical Oct 31, 2002 423 Did you want to display a 3D surface/solid model then? For what its worth you can display 3D wireframe using a Java applet from http://www.escape.de/users/quincunx/dxfviewer/index.htmlBut this might not be of much use. Can you stitch Java applets into a VB program? or maybe call up a HTML page containing the applet in IE from your VB program? Upvote 0 Downvote
