Yes, I suppose I should have asked the correct question ;)
Actually my question(s) were/are:
1. Has the ActiveX Xtra been updated (to be more compatible with the
Autodesk viewer)?
2. Has the Autodesk viewer been updated (to be more compatible with the
MM activeX xtra)?
3. Has anybody found a more elegant way of handling Autodesk files-
either by getting the client to provide them to you in a different
format, or converting them yourself into said different format, or some
other sort of viewer...
Anyway, it seems the activeX webpage embedded will work, but it
certainly doesn't sound like the most straight forward method of viewing
a very common 3d format.

ps. Bertil, how's Evergreen? I miss it... I grew up in Denver and went
to school (the first time) in Gunnison.

Well, I wrote that back in January.
It's much warmer now, so maybe you should give it another go?

Seriously, though, has the ActiveX Xtra been updated since January?
Not to my knowledge.

Is this still true that the activeX control xtra does is not
compatible with the Autodesk DWF viewer?

If it's any comfort - the same thing happens here.
[DMX/WinXp Pro SP1]
It seems this control isn't compatible with Dir.
Have you thought about embedding the control in a local web page,
and use WebXtra to view it?
It works, I just tried it.
Some functions didn't work so well, though (I viewed a 3D model from
the sample files, it may work better with 2D drawings).
1. The Home button didn't restore the initial view.
2. The View History didn't work - threw up an error alert.

Will the user be able to load images (DWF:s), or is this a fixed setup?
If the user will load images, you can use a template page and insert
the required properties.
Here is a sample page with the control embedded, viewing the file,
"ArborPress3D.dwf" from the folder "Sample files".

The Stage was set to 640x480 with WebXtra covering the Stage.
If you take this path, this free utility may be of help.
