QCAD installation on webserver

Post by oseg » Tue Aug 18, 2020 8:53 am

hi, we would like to install QCAD on a webserver. We were trying and researching about qcad and seeing the info you sent us, but as we see what can be done on the server is some services that use the qcad command line that includes commands to for example convert dwg to pdf or bmp, etc. But we really don't get anything to use full qcad functions as webservices, just some pages that use the command line to offer the possibility to convert the files. Our questions:
1. Is it possible to offer full qcad functions as webservices? (not only coverting files)
2. can you please sent us an example where this installation works?

No. The server version of QCAD is meant to use QCAD to automate processes as part of a web service (file conversion, file generation based on parameters, etc.). QCAD as interactive CAD application cannot be used in a browser or over a server (except through screen sharing or similar technologies unrelated to QCAD).
