The Web Viewer Exporter Extension allows you to export CET drawings so they can be viewed in a web browser. While the Extension is required to create and publish the web view, anyone with the shared link can open and explore the drawing in their browser without installing the full CET desktop application.

At a high level, the Web Viewer is designed to make sharing, reviewing, and collaborating on CET projects easier.

A CET user exports or publishes a drawing using the Web Viewer Exporter Extension, then shares the generated link with others. Recipients can open the link in a supported web browser to view and interact with the drawing.

Getting Started with Web Viewer Exporter Extension

1. Download and install the Web Viewer Exporter Extension from the Marketplace. 
2. Create a drawing in CET.
3. From the File Menu in the upper left-hand corner, click the Import & Export tab.

4. When the Web Viewer is installed, the "Create Web Link" button is visible. Click on the Create Web Link button and the Web viewer upload dialog opens and starts to work. A progress bar shows you the progress and status of the upload.
