Does anyone know if file entity supports the .dwg file type format? I could not see it in the mimetype list. These are AUTOCAD Drawings.

Thanks.

Version: 7.x-2.0-beta3 » 7.x-2.x-dev

file_entity supports all file formats that are configured for it. Check the documentation/readme. Also, usually your web server configuration to be configured to accept .dwg files as well.
this is documented somewhere I'm sure.

There is a patch that might make this configuration easier for you
#2533326-14: Should the list of allowed extensions on file/add be generated from all the current file types?

If necessary, you might want to try out this patch #2533326-14: Should the list of allowed extensions on file/add be generated from all the current file types?
OR
7.x-3.x dev branch which has the aforementioned patch

Hi Joseph,

I tried adding the new file type and had no success. In the version I have of file entity 7.2.3 I don't see a readme file even if I download it from the source. I found some instructions here from Dave here - https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21system%21system.api.php/func.... However, I am not sure if this is what I need to do. I can upload the .dwg file type to the server but file entity still says it is not recognised. Any ideas? We are using PHP 5.6x, Drupla 7.56 and a Windows IIS 8.5 server.

I've never heard of or used dwg.

try the aforementioned patch, or try file_entity 7.x-3.x latest dev

AND you will probably also have to either use the following patch (attached) and you may have to modify it, see the code comments I put into the patch.

Is a dwg an image file? or an application file? what type of file is most common for dwg?

Hi Joseph. Honestly we were setting it up for a clients site so not sure what is more widely used. We went with application/acad as the type. We tried the image type and it did recognise it as well but was not showing a preview on the actual page. Thanks again for your help.
