Hello thank you for reading this
I am trying to use the transformer capabilities of alfresco to get a preview of dwg files.
My sources were:
1)http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformations
and the conversation below eventhout it seems a bit outdated.
2)https://forums.alfresco.com/forum/general/non-technical-alfresco-discussion/autocad-dwg-pdf-transformation-09112007-2123
I am using Community version 5
I have tried the pdf transformation using Irfanview. Irfanview has BabaCAD4Image.dll and i can preview there my DWG documents but i also purchased a licence for CS_DWG.dll
to test. Nothing works for me i either get a spining cycle when Alfresco share tried to do the preview or i get :
An error has occured in the Share component: /share/service/components/dashlets/my-sites.

It responded with a status of 500 - Internal Error.
Error Code Information: 500 - An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
Error Message: 06290003 Failed to execute script 'classpath*:alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/dashlets/my-sites.get.js': 06290002 06290003 Failed during

this is what i have done so far:
I added the mimetype image/x-dwg unders mimetypes-extension-map.xml

If i add the DGW to PNG transform in the script i cant even get alfresco to load
After doing alterations with no success i tried to make transformer from DWG to PNG and DWG to GIF altering the above script with no success. I am not interested in detailed
preview.
Any help would be greatly appreciated to get this working
Thanks in advance

Hi, What about IrfanView software/tool with AutoCAD(dwg) files?
tsafarog
@ xiaoqunhua on Aug 1, 2014 7:00 AM
I try to use irfanview…

but i keep get a spinning circle once i try to preview and also what i noticed is that under .\tomcat\temp\Alfresco i see 2 files
RuntimeExecutableContentTransformerWorker_source_5662957576453154813.dwg with 250kb filesize
and RuntimeExecutableContentTransformerWorker_target_3743969435769205511.pdf with 0kb filesize ….
does it fail to make the conversion?
If i open a cmd and enter the convert command it works ok

Hi, I saw some slash in your config xml file,it looks like E:\ECM\bin\IrfanView\i_view32.exe,I think it should be E\:\\ECM\\bin\\IrfanView\\i_view32.exe. Or you can config
the command tool in alf-global.properties file, and then reference it in your tansform config xml file.
tsafarog
Yeah i fixed my global confing i read that it is Java so backslash is escaped
so i add
dwg.exe=E:\\ECM\\bin\\Irfanview\\i.view32.exe
and then to call it i use ${dwg.exe} right?
This is how my global looks now

I think that what i am doing wrong is the command syntax under TransformCommand property
I have tried so many combination with double " and without with single line and cmd /C values as well but cant get it to work
Can someone point for a correct syntax?

If i https://community.alfresco.com/thread/209561-solved-dwg-transformation

but in transformer and under \tomcat\temp\Alfresco the pdf file i get is 0KB …

The weird part is that under CheckCommand property if i try a simple conversion from gif to png it will create the file. Now that i am using DWG to PDF it wont
convert.
As i said thou if i use a CMD and type the command E:\ecm\bin\IrfanView\i_view32.exe dtp.dwg /convert=dtp.pdf it will make the conversion without UI popups
I am stuck…
rjohnson
First, when developing transformations, turn on information level messaging for transforms. This is in log4j properties file. This will cause Alfresco to dump out
just about everything its doing to the logs.
Second, your transform above seems to try and go beyond PDF and into SWF, which I suspect you don't want to do.
Third your my-sites.get.js error is about IMAP and nothing to do with this transform.
Finally as at 4.? you also need to set up your transforms in alfresco-global.properties and not in your XML. This change is in the community information but its not
that explicit and many many examples are from the older way of setting up transforms which can have some nasty side effects in the more recent releases.

Bob thank you so much for your usefull information…
I must admit that i missed the part that sais that you need to mention the transformer in the global config.
I will try what you suggested but for the record the site.js error i get it only if i dont do something right in the transformer.. if i remove the transformer i get no
errors.
Thank you again and i will update asap

@ rjohnson on Aug 5, 2014 10:01 AM
Update
I changed application because i for some reason in the checkcommand i couldnt get the dwg to convert in pdf with Irfanview. So i changed applications with
AcmeCadconverter which works just fine in the checkcommand
So now my tranformer looks like this and according to Bob's directions (thanks for your input)

The result in share is "Could not load pdf content"
Ok the weird thing i noticed
The target file on the debug is 0KB under tomcat/temp directory and once i get the error message in the preview that it cannot load pdf file, then another
source file PDF is created from the DWG that is working just fine. Meaning that i have 3 files under tomcat/temp directory
1) RuntimeExecutableContentTransformerWorker_source_1366542181829387142.dwg (this is the source file)
2) RuntimeExecutableContentTransformerWorker_target_1118018117675185787.pdf (this one is 0KB size file)
3) RuntimeExecutableContentTransformerWorker_source_1366542181829387142.pdf (this is the correct converted dwg file but it only appears after i get
the error message in the share previewer)
Another notice
The transform only occurs for newly uploaded files if the file already exists in the repository it wont try the conversion
Please advice
Kind Regards

Hello,
as per your request I have moved this thread into Developer Discussions => Repository Services (which includes transformation services).
I will check if I can do something about https://forums.alfresco.com/forum/developer-discussions/alfresco-share-development/dwg-pdf-transformation-08072014-1056
but it seems I can not do as much in that sub-forum as I could with this thread.

Thank you very much Mr Faust,
i ll try and close that other thread
I am updating the last script with the latest tries i performed but i believe this is not a script error….. for some reason i am still getting 3 files in the temp directory
and the converted file is 0KB
Hello i am trying to get previews of DWG files (autocad drawings) into my alfresco share
I first tried with Irfanview but changed application because for some reason in the checkcommand i couldnt get the dwg to convert in pdf. So i changed
applications with AcmeCadconverter which works just fine in the checkcommand

so anyone with an idea? do you need me to post some more info?
Kind regards

Aug 16, 2014 5:02 PM
I guess the issue is caused by AcmeCADConverter,you might give it wrong parameters which leads it always saving the output file(pdf file) into the same folder as the
input file(dwg file) and with the same name,only a different extension.
So even if the output pdf file is generated ,but it is not named according alfresco'need. And an empty pdf file is created when alfresco try to read the correct path(in your
case
1 RuntimeExecutableContentTransformerWorker_target_1118018117675185787.pdf
).

@ kaynezhang on Aug 18, 2014 11:28 AM
but aren't ${source} and ${target} the full input and output paths?
Here are all the command line supported commands for acme cad converter http://www.dwg2pdf.biz/dwg-converter/cmd.htm
If anyone has a command suggestion please share
Kind regards and thank you in advance for your time

Aug 18, 2014 2:28 PM [SOLVED] DWG transformation | Alfresco Community
Yes ${source} and ${target} are the full input and output path.
But AcmeDWGConverter command line format is like following
1
2 AcmeDWGConverter [/r] [/e] [/m] [/info] [/l filaname] [/ls] [/info] [/p integer] [/w integer] [/h integer] [/b integer] [/j intege
3
But it seems command line format says that [filename] [filename] are all input parameter.I guess you should use /d parameter,write it like this
<code> AcmeCADConverter /r /ad /f 105 /d ${target} ${source}

</code>
I just read it from http://www.dwg2pdf.biz/dwg-converter/cmd.htm ,I have not tested ,you can give it a try.
kaynezhang
Aug 18, 2014 2:43 PM
I have checke alfresco transform souce code ,there is nothing wrong with it.
And I also test it ,you should write it like mine
1
2 AcmeCADConverter /r /ad /f 105 /d ${target} ${source}
3
tsafarog
@ kaynezhang on Aug 18, 2014 2:50 PM
yeah the /d switch came to my mind also after your first post … i will try tomorrow morning and let you know
Thank you very much for your usefull input Kaynezhang :)
kaynezhang
Aug 18, 2014 2:53 PM
You should also use /105 instead of /104.

good luck.

@ kaynezhang on Aug 25, 2014 6:11 AM
and that was it
Transformation works really nice now

[SOLVED] DWG transformation

Hello thank you for reading this

I am using Community version 5

An error has occured in the Share component: /share/service/components/dashlets/my-sites.

this is what i have done so far:

I added the mimetype image/x-dwg unders mimetypes-extension-map.xml

Transform to pdf (dwg2pdf-context.xml)

Any help would be greatly appreciated to get this working

No one else has this question

I updated the script with the below

I am stuck a bit … any advice would be appreciated

Hi, What about IrfanView software/tool with AutoCAD(dwg) files?

I try to use irfanview…

If i open a cmd and enter the convert command it works ok

Yeah i fixed my global confing i read that it is Java so backslash is escaped

and then to call it i use ${dwg.exe} right?

This is how my global looks now

and this is how transformer looks

Can someone point for a correct syntax?

Xiao thank you for your time on this

after your suggestions this is how transformer looks

and the alfresco-global.properties entries are:-
