Controlling Layer Visibility using Autodesk Design Review API

By Partha Sarkar

If you want to control the layer visibility of a DWF file embedded in a Web Page using Autodesk Design Review JavaScript API, you can access the Layers property from the DWF Viewer control object and for a specific layer in the layer list you can set the Visible property to true or false to show that layer or to switch it off.

Here is a relevant JavaScript code snippet – 

function LayerON(){ 

// Switching a Layer ON
// DWFViewer is DwfViewer Object that represents the DWF Viewer control

DWFViewer.Viewer.Layers.Item(2).Visible = true; 

//
}

function LayerOFF(){ 

// Switching a Layer OFF
// DWFViewer is DwfViewer Object that represents the DWF Viewer control

DWFViewer.Viewer.Layers.Item(2).Visible = false;  

}
