Windows - ASP.NET Configuration

In folder:

c:\VisualStudio
       └─── cadviewer
               └── Web.config

locate the configuration file: Web.config , edit the key settings appSettings that controls Converter and CADViewer pathss to reflect your installation.

HTML

In folder:

c:/VisualStudio
    └─── cadviewer
            └── html

identify your sample mysample.html file, and ensure that it loads the CADViewer_AshxHandlerSettings.js file:

Handler Settings JS File

In folder:

c:/VisualStudio
    └─── cadviewer
            └── app
                 └── cv

Open the CADViewer_AshxHandlerSettings.js file, and ensure that the top variable settings correspond to your server settings:

Open a web-browser pointing to your sample html file: http:/localhost:53737/html/mysample.html

Use the server traces and browser development console for debugging, alternatively contact our Support

For debugging, the folder:

c:\VisualStudio
       └─── cadviewer
               └── temp_debug

contains a debug file callApiConversionHandlerLog.txt that lists the command line and traces in the communication with the back-end converter AutoXchange 2020. If drawing files does not display, this file will contain useful information to pinpoint the issue.

Troubleshooting

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

Typically the variable ServerUrl in /cadviewer/app/cv/CADViewer_AshxHandlerSettings.js is not set to reflect the front-end server url or port.
