1C: In angular.json , reference the cadviewer related stylesheets from /src/assets/:

        "styles": [
          "src/styles.css",
          "src/assets/cadviewer/app/css/bootstrap.min.css",              
          "src/assets/cadviewer/app/css/jquery.qtip.min.css",
          "src/assets/cadviewer/app/css/jquery-ui-1.11.4.min.css",
          "src/assets/cadviewer/app/css/bootstrap-multiselect.css",
          "src/assets/cadviewer/app/css/cvjs_6.4.css"
        ],

As an alternative:

2: Install Angular App testing CADViewer API canvas sample by cloning from Github: cadviewer-testapp-angular-v01

For both methods 1: and 2: , then do the following:

Install CAD Conversion Server

Download the Node JS CAD Conversion server (or alternatively the PHP, .NET or Servlet Server implementations): Go to: https://cadviewer.com/download/, register and receive email and then download from CADViewer Handler/Connector Scripts.

Use the NodeJS CADServer instructions.

Install Converters

Download the CAD Converter AutoXchange 2022: Go to: https://cadviewer.com/download/, register and receive email and then download from AutoXchange 2020 Downloads.

Place the converter as part of the CAD Conversion server structure.

Reference Sample

Use the Github cadviewer-testapp-angular-v01 as reference sample. This sample illustrates initialization and loading of CADViewer as well as illustrates the functional interface for highlight and adding interactive image content to the CAD canvas.

Bookkeeping paths

Note that the path book-keeping is important for proper initialization, where the ServerBackEndUrl and ServerLocation is the location and Url of the CAD Server and ServerUrl is the Url of the Angular application encapulating CADViewer.

	var ServerBackEndUrl = "http://localhost:3000/";
	var ServerUrl = "http://localhost:4200/";
	var ServerLocation = "";

See the API documentation for initialization:

• cvjs_setAllServerPaths_and_Handlers() - required
