Viewing File Previews (Web Client)

You can view both 2D and 3D files in your browser window, using the installed viewers.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Click the file name of the file you want to view.
    • Select the file, then click Select Action > Preview.

    The appropriate viewer for the selected file opens in the browser window.

    The first time the viewer is used, there might be a delay while the viewer files are initialized, and you might see one or more Firewall or File permissions dialogs. You must allow the viewer installer these permissions in order for the viewer to install properly.

  2. To close the viewer, click Close viewer button.
