========================================================================
Sample-Project to retrieve SolidWorks preview bitmap and the display lists.
========================================================================

The DispLists sample illustrates how to retrieve the preview bitmap
and the display lists from a SolidWorks file.  It may not work on
documents older than SW 97Plus.

In order to execute the DisplList.exe executable in either the 
i386/Debug or i386/Release directory you have to add the 

	implode.dll

to this directory.

In order to build the whole project you will have to add the following files
to the directory structure:
	implode.h				to the PKzip directory 
	Implodei.lib			to the PKzip/lib/i386 directory 

These files are available from:

	http://www.pkware.com/catalog/library.html

1. How to use the sample application

The DispLists application contains additional menu items under the File menu:
Using "Open Preview" the sample program will open and display the preview 
bitmap of a SolidWorks file.
 
When you use the "Open DisplayLists" menu item it will serialize in the display
list data of a SolidWorks Part, Assembly or Drawing document. This application
will not display the contents of the display list, it just illustrates what
you will have to do in order to retrieve the display list data in your application.

The actual code for the retrieval is in:

Preview Bitmap: CDispListsDoc::restoreAndDisplayPreviewDIB()
DisplayLists:	CDispListsDoc::restoreDisplayLists()

2. Directory structure

All SolidWorks files needed to retrieve the preview bitmap or the display
lists in your application are in "sldworks" directory. Additionally you will
need the SolidWorks header files under "appcomm".
