I have a library of symbols (.DWG files) I have made at my work, but
because there are so many I need a DWG viewer where I can quickly look
at many of these at the same time in order to find the file I need.
What software is on the web that I could download for this need?
Thanks.

Patrick,
ACAD13 & 14 has it built right in. Use the OPEN command click FIND FILE
then use the BROWSE tab to view dwg's. You have the option of small,
medium or large previews.

This function is to limited. I have a couple hundred symbols so I need to use
full screen or close to it. Also, this ACAD function doesn't have a scroll bar
so I can only see the first dew files. Thanks for the help.

We are using a product called Block Manager, Works well, no programming of
menus, no slides to generate and best of all, only 1 little ARX file to
install.

It works for R13/R14 only, using the stored drawing preview. You can setup
categories for all your symbols, fast and easy. We had 100's of pre release
R13 drawings and used a simple script to update them. You can also do this
with the bonus tool supplied with R14 call Batch Convert. My experience was
that the script file worked much faster.

Check it out! http://www.cadfx.com/

Well my offering is called Ignite! (link below) it dispays only up to ten
previews at a time but it does offer scrolling as well as some other useful
features.

Let me know if you give it a try.
