Embed tag and Netscape
Other Pages/Files to help You

 

   

This next section is basically all the options listed in the Autodesks help pages on whip!

The parts of the embed tag for
Netscape Navigator include:

  • name
    The name portion enables you to give each DWF reference a unique name that can be referenced by JavaScript. You can change this as desired. This is unlike the name="Filename" item within the object tag.
  • pluginspage
    Pluginspage specifies a URL where users who do not have the WHIP! plug-in can go to download the plug-in. Typically, this should remain unchanged.

  • Using Maintaining WHIP! as a Download (whip4.exe)
Change the pluginspage to point to page with a link to the location of the whip4.exe. When a page with an embedded dwf file is called then the user is pointed to another page(download.htm) with a link to download the whip4.exe.

pluginspage="
http://ourserver/download.htm"
  • width and height
    You can modify width and height as desired. In the example width and height are specified in pixels; however, they may also be specified as browser window percentages, for example 75%.
width=400 height=300
width=
75% height=75%
  • src
    Use src to specify the name of your own DWF file.
  • View (see note)
    The view portion is optional and specifies an initial view (in logical coordinates) for your DWF file. The initial view is specified by 4 values: left, right, bottom, top.
  • Namedview (see note)
    The namedview portion is optional and specifies the name of an initial view (using a named view already stored in the DWF file) for your DWF file. If the specified named view has not been defined in the DWF file, the option is ignored. If the value "*" (a single asterisk) is used, it instructs WHIP! to compute a view equivalent to a Fit to Window command.
  • layerson or layersoff
    The layerson or layersoff portion is optional and specifies the name of a layer (using a layer already stored in the DWF file) for your DWF file. If the specified layer has not been defined in the DWF file, the option is ignored.

  • <param name="LayersOn" value="
    PLUMBING,FRAMING">
    <param name="LayersOff" value="
    PLUMBING,FRAMING">
  • userinterface
    The userinterface parameter is optional. It specifies whether or not the WHIP! right-click menu and cursor are displayed or hidden.
  • backcolor
    The backcolor parameter is optional. Use backcolor to specify a background color for WHIP! The color value is a hexadecimal number.
Note: Either a view or a namedview (not both) may be used to specify an initial view. The specified initial view overrides the initial view that is stored inside the DWF file. The parameters are case insensitive; however, the values are not. In other words, you can use NamedView or namedview as a parameter, but kitchen and KITCHEN are not the same. AutoCAD saves named views in uppercase text.
