Frequently asked

No. Drop the file on this page. The viewer reads the drawing in your browser, so you need no CAD program and no account. It opens DXF files saved from AutoCAD, LibreCAD, QCAD, FreeCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion, Inkscape and other drawing programs.

No. DWG is AutoCAD's own binary format, and this viewer reads DXF only. In AutoCAD, use Save As and pick a DXF file type, or run the DWG through a DWG-to-DXF converter, then open the DXF here.

ASCII DXF, the text form that AutoCAD and most programs write by default. Binary DXF is not supported, so save the drawing again as ASCII DXF if it fails to open. The viewer draws lines, arcs, circles, polylines, splines, ellipses, text, multiline text, dimensions, hatches, solids, 3D faces (seen from above), points and block inserts.

True 3D objects such as meshes, ACIS solids and regions, raster images, and leader lines. Pattern hatches show as a light solid fill rather than the pattern itself. When the viewer reads an object but cannot draw it, such as a hatch or a layout viewport it cannot parse, a notice in the side panel says how many were skipped.

Yes. When a file has a paper-space layout, switch from Model to Paper. You see the sheet with its title block and notes, and each viewport shows the model at its own scale.

Press M, then click two points. Each distance is listed in the Measure panel. Distances are in drawing units, the same numbers the drawing was made in. A DXF does not always record which unit that is, so check the title block when it matters.

Open the Export panel. Export SVG saves the current view as vectors you can scale or edit in Inkscape or Illustrator. PNG snapshot saves an image of the view. Print to PDF saves a one-page sheet with that image plus the entity count, layer count and drawing size.

No. The DXF is parsed and drawn in this browser tab, and the file never leaves your device. That makes it safe to open a client's drawing on a shared computer.

Yes. It runs in a current browser on Windows, Mac and Linux, and on phones and tablets, with nothing to install.
