Is there an app or method of getting Nextcloud to view CAD files like DWG, DXF, and/or DWF files types? Does anyone use Nextcloud on iPad to view these file types and what are you using? Thanks.

Well, there is no app at the moment, but here is a Javascript library that could be used if someone is interested in making such an app:
There is also OpenjsCAD which could be integrated as an app too:

+1 for me too
If you work for a construction company and pay for expensive Autocad subscriptions then maybe you can find and sponsor a developer that could build you such an app.

Same here, that’s something we’re missing. There are some clouds out there having that. Unfortunately I can’t do such things

This would be a great feature, relevant for a significant group of users! +1!

I used to want this type of feature, but today I think it is much better working with PDFs for almost all applications. The exception might be for something 3D that is not represented effectively on a sheet of paper.
The problem you get into is all the XREFs and linked data when you work with a native .dwg or .dxf file.
Can you tell more about cadviewer integration on nextcloud? I’m really interested and looking for ways to integrate it into our NC. We work in the construction field and it would be really cool to open CAD drawings in NC. Thank you!
