    I'm looking for a dwg thumbnail browser to be able to quickly reorganize our
    detail libraries. Unless I'm missing something, Design Center only allows
    browsing but not moving or deleting. Others such as CADieu only do previews
    of individual files, not thumbnails of an entire directory.

    So far the only browser I've found is http://www.etecad.com/ for $69 (lite
    version).

    Any others?

    Thanks,

    Dan

    A2k4 and the standard MS Explorer, set view to thumbnail.
    of course the drawings have to be A2k+

  3. Both CadXplorer and BlockWerx at the URL below will do what you're after.

    BlockWerx is oriented towards block/dwg management and can be run inside AutoCAD
    or standalone. It supports drag and drop, cut/copy/paste, etc. and
    automatically moves/copies all other files with the same name as the dwg.

    CadXplorer is an Explorer shell extension for displaying previews, enhanced
    tooltips, and additional context menu functions in Explorer and system file
    dialogs in most programs.

  5. Pricing is the same as standard BlockWerx (there is no Pro version) -

    I'm working on a local copy of the web site right now and should have the bad
    links updated by tomorrow :)

    If I'm not mistaken, dwgbrowser only creates an HTML report. It doesn't
    allow moving/renaming/deleting?
