There will be many solutions.
An automatimsm which writes an AutoCAD slide file at any file save. The
format is well documented and supported by many applications. With a
little
programming knowledge for few-liner may do the job.
E. g. the wideley used PBM tools by Jef Poskanzer can be used to create
a screen size bitmap file (e.g. to GIF forma), which can be viewed in
almost any browser.
But, as I said, ther will be many other solutions.
