Quick Start
In order to let users explore DWG FastView for Web functions, GstarCAD provides sample drawings with thumbnail previews. Users could easily select one sample drawing, and they could also browse more drawings by clicking arrow on left/right side or dragging slider bar on the bottom.
Click the ‘Open Drawing’ button, a new start page will pop up; ‘Select a Local File’ and conveniently browse the .DWG/.DXF drawing.
In my cloud, you browsed the drawings, exported PDF, saved DWG files and intercepted pictures with Haochen CAD Viewer Wang on July 7th.Of course, you need to log in to see my cloud image.
In this TAB, not every drawing will display the thumbnails properly, because your drawing may not have saved the thumbnails when it was saved.A toolbar appears at the bottom when you mouse over the thumbnail.
From right to left are Delete Download Share and Unshare
You can share drawings safely to anyone of your team after clicking share icon. You will get an extract code automatically generated by our web server with four numbers.
