DWG Search for your Desktop and Network drives - is a specialized search program for quickly locating AutoCAD dwg files based on their names and on block definition and reference names.
DWG Search scans selected folders or drives for particular block name occurrences. The result gives a clear view of the contents of your folders and drives. This allows you to easily manage projects and drawing. It greatly reduces the time taken to locate particular components to be reused in your current projects.
Each file listed in the results is provided with a link to open it in AutoCAD and another link to open the containing folder.
The application consists of three (3) primary elements:
· DWG Indexer, a utility that searches and indexes data from AutoCAD files. This is usually installed on the administrator's or CAD manager's computer. Note that AutoCAD has to be installed on this computer.
· A database to hold the relevant data. The database is usually placed on a network drive where all users can have access.
· DWG Search, the application that searches the data is installed on each user's computer. AutoCAD does not have to be installed on these computers.
