Viewing DWFs

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Please help Its very urgent

I have a .Net 2.0 based old web application in which I want to view some drawings (DWF) files. I have embedded the autodesk url in my html for this "https://www.autodesk.com/global/dwfviewer/installer/DwfViewerSetup.cab" but for some reason it is not showing the files in browser anymore. 

<object id="viewer" classid = "clsid:A662DA7E-CCB7-4743-B71A-D817F6D575DF" border = "1" width = 768 height = 600
     	CODEBASE="https://www.autodesk.com/global/dwfviewer/installer/DwfViewerSetup.cab">
	<param name="Src" value='<%# Container.DataItem("Path") %>'/>
</object>

Below is the screenshot of the area where we are showing dwf files. But currently it is loading as blank as show below.

Please suggest what I need to do to get it working. Do I need to do any additional settings? I have installed DWFViewerSetup.cab file on my machine.

When we click on the link "Click to Download FREE DWF Viewer" shown in screenshot it gives error: 

Gone

That's a very old technology. 2D DWFx files should be viewable at the system level now (direct Windows support). Otherwise you may need to install Design Review manually to use its ActiveX interface. See:

Or you can use the cloud-based universal viewer - see:

Hi  vladimir.michl,

Many thanks for your response to my query. 

Out of the two options you have suggested in your reply below, we can not use the second option of using Cloud based universal viewer as it requires lot of work/changes in the current running application at this stage. Hence we are looking out for the first option of using system level direct windows support. But I am not much aware about this method and the changes/way to implement it in my code with minimal efforts. could you please share some guidance/steps/or documentation on how the use/implement this windows level approach to view Dwf files? that will be of great help.

Or else please suggest if there is any other tool/solution that we can use with minimal changes to resolve this issue. 

Awaiting some helpful response.

Thanks.
