[OpenLayers-Users] CAD file (DXF or DWG) and OpenLayers 3

[Angelos Pappas]

Hi Pedro,

I am pretty confident that it's absolutely impossible to display a DWG 
file in OL3 currently. Theoretically it could be possible to write a 
custom ol.format that parses any file type, but there is none right now.
I don't even believe that there is a way to display (directly) a DXF 
file either, even though it's a text format with documentation from 
Autodesk.

So what to do? I would try GDAL's ogr2ogr to convert the DXF to GeoJSON, 
which is supported by OL3. However don't expect the result to look 
exactly like what you see in AutoCAD.

Regards
Angelos
