As an alternative:

2A: Install CADViewer from: npm i cadviewer , see: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cadviewer

2B: There are some general image and XML configuration files that CADViewer needs during execution, please download react_public_folder_cadviewer_6_4.zip and place in your React /public/ project folder. (These files are included in this download)

For both methods 1: and 2: , then do the following:

Download the Node JS CAD Conversion server (or alternatively PHP, .NET or Servlet implementations): Go to: https://cadviewer.com/download/, register and receive email and then download from CADViewer Handler/Connector Scripts.

Use the Github CADViewer 6.4 ReactJS as reference sample. This sample illustrates initialization and loading of CADViewer as well as illustrates the functional interface for highlight and adding interactive image content to the CAD canvas.

Note that the path book-keeping is important for proper initialization, where the ServerBackEndUrl and ServerLocation is the location and Url of the CAD Server and ServerUrl is the Url of the React application encapulating CADViewer.

	var ServerBackEndUrl = "http://localhost:3000/";
	var ServerUrl = "http://localhost:8000/";
	var ServerLocation = "c:/nodejs/cadviewerServer/";

Use the CADViewer API to open and manipulate drawings in your application.
