The CADViewer full screen window.

The ArNoNa CADViewer is a Java based viewer for AutoCAD Drawing Web Format (DWF) and SVF. Unlike a plug-in the CADViewer is installed on the Web server and enables anyone (Windows/ Mac/ Unix etc) to
view CAD drawings on the UPUAUT PROJECT web site without installing anything.

Description

The DWF format allows users of AutoCAD (R) to generate small vector based drawings. These drawings are designed to work well over the internet. The format uses data compression to create small files yet uses vectors so the precision of the drawing is not lost. Vectors allow for functions like zoom which are impossible with non vector based formats (gif or jpeg images for example).
The DWF format requires a viewer to actually render the drawing and to provide functions like zoom and pan.

Until the CADViewerTM was created, there was no viewer which answered the above issues. Since the CADViewerTM is written using Java, it will run on any Java enabled platform using standard browsers (Netscape 3.0 or Internet Explorer 3.0 or above).
Most users will not need to upgrade their browser nor install any software on their machine. The viewer has been used on multiple platforms including SunOS, Solaris, Digital Unix, OS/2, Mac, Linux, Windows 95/NT, JavaStation, Network Computers etc.

Java?

1.
Java is well suited for the task of viewing DWF drawings.

2.
Java is secure. Users can download the applet with full knowledge that the applet can't harm their own machine in any way.

3.
Java executes automatically. There is absolutely no installation required when running Java. The applet is downloaded much like an image would be downloaded.
