AutoCAD in a web server?

AutoCAD in a web server?

AutoCAD in a web server?

(OP)
Hello,I would like to know if it's possible to run AutoCAD in a web server.
Thank you very much,
Laura

RE: AutoCAD in a web server?

There are many drawing viewers available to use with Acad files. Some are plugins and some are applets. all run on the client (browser) end.  If you want display draings over the internet, I would investigate these starting with Autodesk's own whip viewer.

If I misunderstood your question I am sorry.

RE: AutoCAD in a web server?

You could use the Autocad Drawing Web File format. These files have a .dwf extension. The files are readonly and can be viewed in a browser. You will need to have install the Autodesk Whip plug-in for computers without Autocad.
The result is compareble with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
