Work with Drawing Files over the Internet
You can open and save drawings to an Internet location, attach externally
referenced drawings stored on the Internet, use i-drop to insert blocks by
dragging drawings from a website, create a transmittal package of drawings
that automatically includes all related files, and edit files online using the
AutoCAD WS application.
Open and Save Drawing Files from the Internet
The file input and output commands recognize any valid Uniform Resource
Locator (URL) path to a DWG file.
You can use AutoCAD LT to open and save files from the Internet. The
AutoCAD LT file input and output commands (OPEN, EXPORT, and so on)
recognize any valid URL path to an AutoCAD LT file. The drawing file that
you specify is downloaded to your computer and opened in the AutoCAD LT
drawing area. You can then edit the drawing and save it, either locally or back
to any Internet or intranet location for which you have sufficient access
privileges.
If you know the URL to the file you want to open, you can enter it directly in
the Select File dialog box. You can also browse defined FTP sites or web folders
in the Select File dialog box.
