Open file from hard disk
To open a file with editor you have to , simply pass the file path including file protocol prefix in the fileUrl query parameter to the editor url. The format follows the file URI scheme “file:///path”.
The url to open a drawing depends on which port and path you selected during server install:
e.g. for port 80 and deploy path /
Linux: http://localhost/editor?fileUrl=file:////home/andrea/Documents/My%20Drawings/test.dwg
Windows: http://localhost/?fileUrl=file:///c:\Users\hentschke\Documents\My%20Drawings\test.dwg
or for port 8081 and deploy path /editor
Linux: http://localhost:8081/editor?fileUrl=file:////home/andrea/Documents/My%20Drawings/test.dwg
Windows: http://localhost:8081/editor?fileUrl=file:///c:\Users\hentschke\Documents\My%20Drawings\test.dwg
Please note that only view-only mode is supported when opening file from disk. It is required to open a file through API server if you want to open it in editing mode.
