As the name points out, this application can be used to view AutoCAD drawings – DXF or DWG drawings. But the thing is that CAD Viewer provides support for more than DXF and DWG. The application provides support for many other formats - raster images, vector images, PDF documents. Here’s a list of supported formats for the input: DWG, DXF, PDF, BMP, GIF, JPG, DWF, ECW, PNG, TIF, HP-GL/2 plot files, ESRI Shapefiles, BLN, XYZ files.

CAD Viewer works with 32 and 64-bit Windows editions, all editions from Windows 2003 up to Windows 8. The setup wizard that helps you install CAD Viewer allows you to associate the application with AutoCAD drawings, HPGL and HP/GL2 plot files, and TIF/TIFF files. When you’re done installing CAD Viewer and you run the application for the first time, a prompt will inform you of the trial version’s limitations: 15 days, 30 runs, 30 file saves.

Load a DWG file into the application and it will be presented on the interface’s main panel. In the upper left hand corner, right where you would expect it to be, there’s a File Menu. Underneath the File Menu there’s a toolbar with buttons for several functions: open files, save files, zoom in and out, pan across a drawing area, select a predefined 3D view, and more. Overall, the interface is quite easy to use; it won’t take long for you to figure things out.

As mentioned above, lots of formats are supported for the input. CAD Viewer allows you to open and view DWG drawings, PDF documents, BMP images, and more. Text in the input files can be edited.
Lots of formats are supported for the output as well. You can save files as BMP, CAL, GIF, JPG, PNG, TIF, or PDF. You can also print out files and you can send out files via email in PDF format.

The trial version of CAD Viewer comes with the following limitations: 15 days, 30 runs, 30 file saves. Whilst in evaluation mode, the software can be used solely for your own, internal, non-commercial evaluation purposes.

View AutoCAD drawings and lots of other formats with the user friendly CAD Viewer.
