In the early days the DWG file format was changing with pretty much every release, but while the format change for AutoCAD 2013, it did not change again until AutoCAD 2018, despite yearly releases of the program. So, the same file format was used for AutoCAD 2013, AutoCAD 2014, AutoCAD 2015, AutoCAD 2016 and AutoCAD 2017.https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/parameter_interface/in_output/Sun, 22 Mar 2020 15:26:15 +0000https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/parameter_interface/in_output/Input/Output Parameters BASE Input Base File Name OUT Output File Name LPATH License Path Base Input File PARAMETER BASE Purpose This parameter defines the base input file name. Example -BASE=c:\mydrawing.dwg Output File PARAMETER OUT Purpose This parameter defines the output file name containing the combination of input file and merged content. Example -OUT=c:\mymergedoutputdrawing.dwg License Path PARAMETER LICENSEPATH Purpose This parameter allows the specification of an alternate location for the License File.https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/introduction/intro/Sun, 22 Mar 2020 15:26:15 +0000https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/introduction/intro/Tailor Made Software’s® DwgMerge 2026™ is a command-line interface application designed to designed to merge XML or JSON content into AutoCAD DWG files. DwgMerge 2026 can add graphical entities, layers, bitmap references and blocks. It supports any version of AutoCAD up through AutoCAD 2026 (released March 2025). DwgMerge 2026 can be installed and utilized on any server that utilizes one of the following operating systems: Microsoft Windows 11 Microsoft Windows 10 Microsoft Window 8 and 8.https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/installation/install_windows/Sun, 22 Mar 2020 15:26:15 +0000https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/installation/install_windows/DwgMerge 2026 is usually shipped in a ZIP archive. This is because many companies have virus scanning software that will not allow .exe file attachments. You will need to extract the installation program from the Zip archive. The executable is called “DwgMerge 2026_WBB_NN_MM_PP” (where BB is the type of Windows (32-bit or 64-bit), NN is the major version number, MM is the medium version number and PP is the minor version number - so DwgMerge 2026 Windows 32-bit V1.https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/parameter_interface/data/Sun, 22 Mar 2020 15:26:15 +0000https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/parameter_interface/data/Data Parameters MERGE Location of file with Merge content OVER Instruction to overlay content HYPER Instruction to create hyperlinks BLOCK_OUTLINE Instruction to outline blocks BLOCK_COUNT Instruction to count blocks Merge Content PARAMETER MERGE Purpose This parameter defines an XML or JSON file with the content to be merged into the base drawing. Example -MERGE=c:\mycontent.xml , alternatively -MERGE = c:\myothercontent.json Note See the section Supported Entities on allowed entities and their syntax.https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/installation/install_linux/Sun, 22 Mar 2020 15:26:15 +0000https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/installation/install_linux/DwgMerge 2026 for Linux is shipped as a tar.gz file. The executable is called “DwgMerge 2026_LBB_NN_MM_PP” (where BB is the type of Linux (32-bit or 64-bit), NN is the major version number, MM is the medium version number and PP is the minor version number - so DwgMerge 2026 Linux 64-bit V1.00.06 would be DwgMerge 2026_L64_01_00_06) but you can rename it to whatever you want. After downloading the executable file, transfer it to the directory of your choice.https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/operation/operation/Sun, 22 Mar 2020 15:26:15 +0000https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/operation/operation/You can configure a process on your server that makes use of DwgMerge 2026 in two ways: process single files or collections of files in a single session use a kron-type application to run DwgMerge 2026 at set times to scan a particular folder/directory and automatically convert all files loaded into this folder—storing the converted images in a designated destination directory. You should note down a list of files you want to convert, record the exact directory pathways for source and destination directories, and have some idea of which custom parameters you’d like to apply to the conversion process.https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/operation/commandline/Sun, 22 Mar 2020 15:26:15 +0000https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/operation/commandline/The following is the basic DwgMerge 2026 command syntax: DwgMerge2023 -base=<BASE FILE> -merge=<MERGE FILE> -out=<OUTPUT FILE> -over The main elements of every command are (1) the actions, and (2) any parameters that affect the output. All command parameters are preceded by a dash (-). Some parameters will be noted as letters and others will be noted as numbers, while others (such as directory paths) will follow the dash with a space and then a text string—as shown in the previous example.https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/operation/sampleconversion/Sun, 22 Mar 2020 15:26:15 +0000https://cadviewer.com/dwgmergetechdocs/operation/sampleconversion/To customize the conversion of any output files, you can type additional parameters following the “-o=” entry. For example, you may want to customize output as detailed here: -- The conversion will merge in (overlay) the content defined by MERGE FILE into the BASE FILE and the result will be saved as OUTPUT FILE. DwgMerge -base=<BASE FILE > -merge=<MERGE FILE > -out=<OUTPUT FILE> -over
