It seems DXF files can be accessed with JavaScript.

This sounds a bit peculiar to me, how big are these files?

Can be very big

http://medw.co.uk/fisheye/view.php?gallery_id=36 will give you the idea.

I'm dumping the images to jpg from Turbocad, so I have separate thumbnails to drawing files, but ideally if people are uploading drawing fiels we will need to automatically produce thumbnails for them. server end rather than client
