As the name suggests, you are only allowed to import DWG or DXF files to be analyzed. Loading a file can easily be done by having it dragged over the main window, as well as through the dedicated file menu explorer. On the visual side, Autodesk DWG TrueView is well-polished and clever arrangement of features lets even the less experienced quickly accommodate. A powerful set of navigation options is put at your disposal so that you can pan, zoom in / out, rotate, or even a full navigation wheel, sporting even more mobility options. Multiple projects can be opened at the same time, each being stored in a separate tab. The application's interface resembles that of AutoCAD, but with considerably less features. Luckily, with the help of utilities like Autodesk DWG TrueView, you can simply take a look at projects designed in AutoCAD. Depending on circumstances, you might just need to view and analyze a certain project, without having to run the whole CAD application, which can take some time and resources.
(But I wouldn't be at all surprised if an A360 file access API became available in the near future :-).įinally, unless you want to interact with the displayed file via the viewer's JavaScript API, you may prefer just to upload your files to A360, share the translated model, and then iframe embed them in your webpage.Due to the advancements in technology, most projects are designed with the help of specialized computer applications. If you use a non-permanent bucket, then your original (untranslated file) becomes unavailable when the bucket expires, or you can explicitly delete the untranslated file (using the delete API).įiles translated via the View & Data API are not accessible via A360. There is a 'list' API available, but this is white-listed (available on request), so getting your accesstoken and urn for one file doesn't automatically give access to your other files - unless someone can guess the other filenames (or iterate to find them). But if you're serving up the model on a public page, then you presumably don't care about that. This does mean that someone could separately access your translated file by grabbing the accesstoken and URN from your webpage. However, for the viewer on your client-page to access the file, you need to provide it with your accesstoken. You might consider downloading it to be advantageous because then you don't need to implement the OAuth code on your server.īuckets on the Autodesk server can only be accessed using the accesstoken created from your API keys, so it is secure in that only someone with your accesstoken and who knows the URN can access your translated file.
You need to upload the DWG to the Autodesk server, translate it, and either then download the translation to store on your local server (as demonstrated on ) or keep it on the Autodesk server. The Autodesk View & Data API ( ) allows you to display a DWG on your website using a zero-client (WebGL) viewer.
