Use this version with global DOM scope with back-end conversion scripts and CAD converters for PHP, .NET, .NET Core, Servlets, Laravel and NodeJS.

Install the content of this repository under /cadviewer/. So for example, if on xampp, then /xampp/htdocs/cadviewer/, if on apache Linux then /var/www/html/cadviewer/.

Pull the library from your install location, for example: /var/www/html/ (linux) or /xampp/htdocs/ (windows) , it will expand into cadviewer-script-library, rename or copy this folder to cadviewer, or use git to rename at install:

 sudo git clone https://github.com/CADViewer/cadviewer-script-library.git ./cadviewer

For front-end frameworks ReactJS, Angular and VueJS, insted use npm installer: npm i cadviewer. In that case, the htmnl sample folder 4: is not used.

The back-end converters can be used on Windows and Linux.

NOTE: Your end-point to access the CADViewer script library from an external source will be: http://myapacheserver/cadviewer/, where *myapacheserver is the url of the Apache server.

1: CADViewer script library - in its preferred folder structure

2: AutoXchange AX2024 Converter , Linklist 2024 Extractor and DWG Merge 2024 Converter, in their preferred folder structure. NOTE: Each converter will have two subfolders /windows/ and /linux/ where the executable for the corresponding platform is located.

3: All structures for file-conversion, sample drawings, redlines, print folders etc.

4: A number of HTML files with CADViewer samples.

5: The folder structure for script handlers for communication between CADViewer and the back-end AutoXchange 2024. Install these separately!

NOTE: With this download, the PHP handlers will work as-is, download the PHP handlers from: https://github.com/CADViewer/cadviewer-php-scripts, install under /cadviewer/php/.

6: If on Linux ensure the following:

6A: The executable /cadviewer/ax2024/linux/ax2023_L64__xx_yy_zz has full read, write and execute permissions for the owner (chmod 755 or chmod 777)

6B: The executable /cadviewer/ax2024/linux/ has full read, write permissions for the owner (chmod 777)

6C: The php scripts in /cadviewer/php/ has full rights (chmod 755)

6D: Ensure the /cadviewer/converters/files/ folder for temporary files has full write permission (chmod 766)

6E: Make sure the /cadviewer/ folder has the right owner structure, for example,

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/cadviewer

6G: If installing on a clean VM, such as Google Cloud or other providers, ensure that in addition to Apache, PHP is installed:

sudo apt install php

6H: If installing on a clean VM, such as Google Cloud or other providers, for CAD conversion, ensure that fontconfig is installed:

sudo apt -y install fontconfig

Once the 5: script handler is installed and 6: permissions settings are done, the HTML samples under /cadviewer/html/ can be run from a web-browser.

Use http://localhost/cadviewer/html/CADViewer_fileloader_80.html as a starting point (assuming that your have installed under http://localhost).

1: One issue that often appears in installations is that interface icons do not display properly:

Typically the variables ServerUrl, ServerLocation or ServerBackEndUrl in the controlling HTML document in /cadviewer/html/ are not set to reflect the front-end server url or port.

    var ServerBackEndUrl = "http://localhost/cadviewer/";  // or what is appropriate for my server; used for NodeJS server only
    var ServerUrl = "http://localhost/cadviewer/";   // or what is appropriate for my server
    var ServerLocation = ""; // or what is appropriate for my server
