MLightCAD CAD-Viewer now supports OneDrive as a Data Source.

Browse and display DWG/DXF drawings directly from OneDrive, with the same powerful CAD viewing experience—no file download or manual upload required.

MLightCAD Viewer now supports pluggable Data Sources.

With Data Source plugins, you can display DWG/DXF drawings from virtually any source — local files, URLs, cloud storage, or custom backends.

The viewer handles the CAD rendering; you decide where the drawings come from.
