I want to show AutoCAD-files (.DWG) in my AngularJS application and I'm using a Node.js backend for my application.

Are there any DWG libraries in Javascript? Are there any DWG Node libraries to convert DWG files to a SVG / PDF / ...

I don't want to edit them; just show them online in my application.

The only that i could find was this :

It's a linux mand-line utility but I cannot use it since I want to host my application on the Heroku platform.

Check out the autocad the 2014 JavaScript API http://adndevblog.typepad./autocad/2013/04/getting-started-with-javascript-api-on-autocad-2014.html

Here is a YouTube video

There is a tiegha file converter made by the Open Design Alliance. It is a CLI exe that can convert dwg to dxf. opendesign./guestfiles/teigha_file_converter .Then there are lots of dxf parsers. I like this one github./gdsestimating/dxf-parser

There is a NodeJS wrapper library for the Vector Express conversion API you may be able to use: https://github./smidyo/vectorexpress-nodejs
