Use this to test setting up CADViewer under Rails7
Either install directly under Rails on your environment, or create your own controller.
1: CADViewer script library - installed under /public/app/ (omit /cadviewer/).
2: A sample HTML implementation of CADViewer in a Rails7 controller, using: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
3: Content of /app/views/cadviewerbasecanvas/index.html.erb modified to include CADViewer.
5: The back-end AutoXchange 2022 conversion server and connecting scripts. Install these separately!
NOTE: With this download, use the NodeJS CAD conversion server: https://github.com/CADViewer/cadviewer-conversion-server
Run Rails7 server under http://localhost:3000. In CAD Conversion Server, ensure the server is running on port 4000.
Use the content of /app/views/cadviewerbasecanvas/index.html.erb as a starting point of an integration.
Please refer to the general Documentation above, for the back-end handlers, there is more information on:
This repository should contain the latest converters, but in case you need to update any of the back-end converters please follow:
-
Download AutoXchange (and other converters), install (unzip) AX2022 in cadviewer/converters/ax2022/windows or cadviewer/converters/ax2022/linux or in the designated folder structure.
-
Read the sections on installing and handling Fonts in AutoXchange 2022 TechDocs and TroubleShooting.
-
Try out the samples and build your own application!
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 = ""; // 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
