Open Autocad file (DWG)

Post by lineamovil »

Hi!

Can anyone share a tip in how to open and view autocad files in AwareIM?
Like saving the file in a Business Object, and then when open, you can see the file withing AwareIM, not downloading.

I would appreciate your help.

If it's only for viewing, maybe converting the file to a PDF format and then working with that will be a solution

Thank you!

That would be a good option, but Also would need to save it in DWG to have an evidence of what I receive, and then also send it to a partner so they will work over the DWG file.

I do not want to alter the file, just preview it.

Thank you for your sugestion!

Create the Object with two document attributes 1 x DWG file and 1 x PDF. Have a server based application that converts the DWG file into PDF upon creation and then expose whatever format is needed to the user
