The Compare Drawings can be activated through the Icon on the Icon interface menu bar as part of the CADViewer Icon interface, or it can be directly actived by an application programmer, by passing over to CADViewer a url string with two parameters compareDrawing=basefile and compareWith=comparefile. API driven Activate Compare Drawings In the case of API driven Activate Compare Drawings, an application programmer user will call CADViewer or Visual Query with a URL string with two parameters compareDrawing=basefile and compareWith=comparefile, and the Compare Method will automatically open up with the two drawings ready for visually do interaction with the drawings for compare functionality.https://cadviewer.com/cadviewerusermanual/referenceapplications/nextcloud/admin/Sun, 22 Mar 2020 15:26:15 +0000https://cadviewer.com/cadviewerusermanual/referenceapplications/nextcloud/admin/The following controls are available in the Admin Interface in NextCloud: CADViewer Icons Skin CADViewer supports three icons skins in NextCloud: Deep Blue, Black and Light Gray: The standard setting when installing on a clean system is Deep Blue: Apply License Keys CADViewer needs to have applied two licenses to transition from trial mode to release mode.
