iOS AutoCAD WS URL Scheme

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I am developing an iPhone/iPad app, and would like to get information about the AutoCAD WS URL scheme. This is to enable me to open DWG files from my app in AutoCAD WS, in a similar way to how it is possible to open DWG files attached to emails.
Could you please let me know where I can find this information?
Many Thanks
Nick Williams

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. The article seems to show how to open from remote url or a file already available in AutoCAD WS. The iOS mail app allows attachments to be opened in AutoCAD WS. I am trying to replicate this functionality from my app. I have tried both the following launch strings. autocad://open?path=file://localhost/var/mobile/Applications/7B1D730C-46C3-4BD3-A6B8-2752105D420B/Documents/test.dwg autocad://open?url=file://localhost/var/mobile/Applications/7B1D730C-46C3-4BD3-A6B8-2752105D420B/Documents/test.dwg AutoCAD WS launches, but no file. I have check the file exists on the device before I call :- openURL:]; Do you know if this is possible from applications other than the Mail App? Many Thanks Nick

Hi, I figured it out! 🙂 I needed to use a UIDocumentInteractionController instead of launching with : openURL:]; Thanks Nick
