Inside Visual Studio select File > New > Project > Visual Web Part: When you install SharePoint it also installs some Visual Studio project templates that will help with this part. Now you can add the rest of the html page for the viewer. Open Microsoft SharePoint Designer, go to Site Pages and right-click in the list and select New > ASPX The only thing that has been added beyond what the tutorial talks about is the part that retrieves the urn and accessToken parameters from the URL when this html page is opened: var urn = ('urn') You can have a look at the tutorial to see how to create such a page: Urn=dXJuOmFkc2sub2JqZWN0czpvcy5vYmplY3Q6bXl0ZXN0YnVja2V0L2NoYXNzaXMuZHdm MyViewerPage.aspx?accessToken=&Į.g.: MyViewerPage.aspx?accessToken=ljvWwXkzF3zxCVfLUZhP1Q8Qk66S& It will expect two parameters in the URL: the urn of the file to show and the access token you got after authentication. This can be easily integrated into other web pages using an iframe. This is a simple aspx page that will be using the viewer to show the file whose urn is passed to it. Then under the Columns section you'll find Create column: deleting the urn property of the document each time it is checked in, or you would automatically start the upload/translation process then, but that's not part of this blog post.įrom the main page of your SharePoint site you can go Libraries > Documents > Library > Library Settings You could make things a bit more sophisticated by e.g. If that is not set then we start the upload/translate process, otherwise just simply show the file that has the urn. In order to keep track of if the document has already been uploaded and translated, we can attach each file the urn of the translated file. It's useful to install Microsoft SharePoint Designer, that I will also be using.

The parts that need to be implemented:ġ) Install SharePoint and Microsoft SharePoint Designerįirst of all I needed to install the SharePoint environment.

use the viewer to visualize your files inside SharePoint.

This blog post goes through the steps of integrating the Autodesk viewer technology with SharePoint, i.e. All the files created while writing this article are available on github and they also contain comments that provide further information.
