I don't know for sure, but if you have AutoCad installed on your PC, try importing the ActiveX. It's in the Delphi IDE under Component | Import Component... | Import ActiveX Control. That'll show the list of available ActiveX gizmos. See if there's anything there that looks like AutoCad. If so, you should be able to make it work ON YOUR PC. To make it work on ANY PC, you'd need a free or licensed viewer that can handle AutoCad.

CadSoftTools offer CAD Image DLL or CAD Import VCL

The Open Design Alliance supports (or used to support, I'm not sure about that one) Delphi in their TeighaX library.

In the past you have been able to use DWG Trueview as an ActiveX control but that may have been disabled.

    I actually tried with Trueview and i succeed to add to Delphi library the components, but i cant find anywhere some documentation, neither examples - how to use it :| – Yordan Yanakiev Oct 06 '11 at 06:30

    Try the usual AutoCAD VBA documentation - it is built on the same framework so it, in theory, should be similar. You won't find any examples because it is _very_ unsupported. – CAD bloke Oct 06 '11 at 10:05
