When people refer to AutoCAD file, they are usually refers to the native drawing files, .DWG or .DXF format. AutoCAD files can be stored in Laserfiche Repository and can be downloaded and opened in their native application installed on their machine. No integration required to perform this. 

However, it is very common that designers to create one set of drawing by referencing multiple DWF files. Under those situations, designers have the option in AutoCAD to generate a DWF file that contains external references (namely, xrefs) files. Although not all AutoCAD files contains xrefs and there are many practices to share CAD files properly to consider, there are a few options to make storing AutoCAD files with references possible in Laserfiche:

-    E-Transmit: is a feature in AutoCAD that will allow designers to bundle up all CAD drawing with all the xrefs in a zip file. The designer will be able to retrieve the xrefs automatically by opening the plan file after unzipping the drawings. (Video explained)

-    Binding: A traditional way to merge all xrefs to the current file. This method will add the link drawings to the main block of drawing. The xrefs will no longer link to the original and become just one file for issuing.

We don’t have official test results but using one of the approach aforementioned (with thorough understanding and choosing which method to use) should be able to store CAD files into Laserfiche with the dependencies drawing since the format of the file is either in zip or a single file.

If there are users who don’t have the application to view CAD files, and they just want to view the image of the CAD files in LF, they can import the CAD files using Laserfiche Snapshot, and convert them to Tiff images. Creating Snapshots of CAD files will allow all the users to view these CAD drawing images in the Laserfiche Document Viewer of Laserfiche Client, Web Access or Public Portal and also on the Laserfiche Mobile App. Please see the link here for details on configuring Snapshot.
