AutoCAD® slide library files are used for making slide shows with AutoCAD® and for some preview functions in specific AutoCAD® dialogs, such as the hatch pattern dialog, in AutoCAD® versions older than AutoCAD® 2000. Furthermore you could like to incorporate support for slide files into your own programs. Firstly, create some slide files and then merge them to a slide library file. To merge a slide file (*.SLD) into a slide library file (*.SLB), you have several options:
Here is the description of the general format of a slide library (AutoCAD® Release 9 and later):
"AutoCAD Slide Library 1.0" CR LF ^Z NUL NUL NUL NULSlide directory entries have the following format:
32 bytes . . . a NUL terminated slide name
4 bytes . . . the address of the slide within the library
The slide address is always written with the low-order byte first. Each slide to which the directory points is a complete slide file as described in this section. The end of the slide directory is signified by an entry with a null slide name (first byte is NUL).
