因为有人问到，所以写了个例子。具体的要求是从.NET(比如C#)里面调用AutoCAD ActiveX API实现后台打印DWG文件为PDF文件，而且要把打印页面的大小设置成和DWG视图的页面的大小一致。当然除了ActiveX API，其它接口，比如ObjectARX和AutoCAD.NET API也支持打印并能实现上述功能的。不过我们今天就限定一下范围，用一用ActiveX API，而且指定产品是AutoCAD 2010吧。

执行步骤：打开一个dwg文件，用netload加载下面代码所在的.dll文件，再输入命令plottest，就得到输出结果（一个.pdf文件）。

输出结果：
Process.Start(“cad主程序的路径”，“要打开文件的目录”)
比如用记事本打开 c:\1.txt
Process.Start("C:\Windows\notepad.exe", "c:\1.txt")
你是要操作cad文件？网上有操作dxf或dwg格式的代码，你看看dxf的格式吧，是明码的。
简单的点线这些好实现，但要尺寸标注或其它的就要麻烦些
Dim ppr As PromptPointResult = ed.GetPoint("请选择插入点：")
Dim pt As Point3d = ppr.Value
utility.WriteToEditor(pt.ToString())
Dim pidBlock As New PIDBlock()
'自己定义的图块类，保存图块的路径和名称
pidBlock.Name = "sample"
pidBlock.Path = blockPath "b_sample.dwg"

'read drawing
blkDb.ReadDwgFile(pidBlock.Path, System.IO.FileShare.Read, True, Nothing)
blkDb.CloseInput(True)

'多文档要先这样，否则报至命错误

转换成位图肯定是可以浏览的，WMF文件没试过。
你可以将图片以二进制形式存储在数据库中，如果是SQL Server，对应字段的类型应该是image。
拦截窗口程序消息可以解决
参考 VB王国荣API讲座 讲消息的那章
几个API就可以搞定
