The DWG Viewer reads all drawings from the Support folder of the IPA. This may result in a slower opening and rendering time. It is recommended to load drawings from a local or external folder of the device. The drawing is loaded with the _ OPEN command using the -(void)runCommand:(NSString*)command method of the singleton [CFxARESInstance instance]. Once the drawing is loaded the CFxAresDelegate triggers -(void)documentCreated and the CFxARESDocumentView can become visible. This is the time when additional user interfaces can show up or drawing content can be accessed. In general, the CFxAresDelegate informs the host application about all important drawing events.

...

The active drawing is closed with the _ CLOSE command. When the document is closed the CFxARESDelegate triggers -(void)documentDestroyed , the drawing is removed from the memory and the CFxARESDocumentView  can become hidden. The host application can set up the user interface for a new drawing like switching between state view controllers.

...


Hint:  You can achieve similar results with commands like _ZOOM or _PAN.

DWG Viewer - Switch between model and sheets

The DWG Viewer uses a native method -(void)AddSheetButtonsTo:(UIStackView*)sheets to get all available sheets of the drawing. All available sheets are stored as a UIButton inside a UIStackView. The button is linked with a command expression that is executed when tapped. The command _SHEET_CONTROL handles the layout switch.
