Thanks for the suggestion, but i can say with a firm authority, that the Apose suite of everything is absolutely horrible. Their Word/Office offerings, and their CAD stuff just don't work. Their marketing team, however, are absolutely brilliant (i'm not accusing you of being a marketer, just that their products are usually the number one result whenever you search for anything, their site design is great, as are their Q&A/forums). Their products are super slow (in part due to the huge amounts of obfuscation and licensing) and have some pretty horrible bugs and disparate features. I'll continue having a pipe dream of some true viewer. If i wasn't so busy with work at the moment i'd love to make an open source dwg/dxf viewer similar to what the great guys at openjscad (https://openjscad.org https://openjscad.org) are doing.

As someone who has been in the file format space for a very long time, I've always been impressed with Aspose. I was one of the founding members of https://poi.apache.org https://poi.apache.org. Later, I went to work for a competitor of Aspose. At some later point, I used their products for work. I can't speak about their CAD product but I haven't found anyone that comes even close to their support of the MS Office formats. Do you have an alternative suggestion?
