The invention discloses a method and a device for carrying out the no-plugin display of a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) drawing on a WEB front end. The method comprises the following steps that: a server reads and analyzes the CAD drawing requested by a client side and analyzes all CAD objects contained in the CAD drawing and the attribute values of the CAD objects, and all object data is packaged into a Json data / XML (Extensive Markup Language) data format after analysis is finished, and are sent to the client side; and the client side adopts a Javascript script to analyze all CAD objects and the attribute values of the CAD objects in the Json data / XML data, the coordinates of the CAD objects are converted into the coordinate of a local Canvas control, and the CAD drawing is drawn in the Canvas control. By use of the method, the no-plugin display of the CAD drawing on the WEB front end is realized, all mainstream browsers, operating platforms and systems can be compatible, and the device is easy in development and popularization.
