Procedure

You can open and save drawings to an Internet location, attach externally referenced drawings stored on the Internet, use i-drop to insert blocks by dragging drawings from a website, and create a transmittal package of drawings that automatically includes all related files.

Open and Save Drawing Files from the Internet
The file input and output commands recognize any valid Uniform Resource Locator (URL) path to a DWG file.
Share Drawing Files Internationally
Beginning with AutoCAD 2007-based products, drawing files and most files associated with drawing files use the Unicode standard. This lets you maintain both the visual fidelity and data integrity of international characters when you save and open drawing files.
