Autodesk DWG TrueView 2017 is a free tool for viewing CAD files in DWG and DXF format.
The official AutoCAD mobile app by AutodeskĀ® Take the power of AutoCADĀ® software wherever you go! The AutoCAD mobile app is a DWG viewing and editing application, with easy-to-use drawing and drafting tools. View, markup, edit, and create DWG files on your smartphone or tablet - anytime, anywhere. This software supports.dwg,.dwf and.dxf formats of Autodesk files. This desktop software is basically designed to enable you to view.dwg files and with the inclusion of DWG Trueconvert software, it lets you convert newer.dwg version files to work with older versions of AutoCAD. Hello team, It would be great if Auodesk develop a program which helps to view the dwg files on MAC OS. I could see DWG Trueview program only compatible for windows OS. Does Autodesk has any recommended program for MAC OS to view the dwg files?
The program can also convert DWG files to formats suitable for earlier versions of Autocad. This might be useful if someone's sent you a file which you're trying to open in another CAD program which doesn't fully support the latest formats.
This isn't a regular lightweight viewer; the download is over 600MB and a full installation needs approaching 1GB of hard drive space. But even if it takes a while, installation is at least easy, with no registration or other hassles.
The interface looks intimidating, at least initially, its ribbon displaying a host of file handling, layer, measurement, snapping and other options. But fortunately you don't have to understand most of that.
Click Open, choose one or more files and they all open in tabs.
Click and drag to pan, and spin the mouse wheel to zoom in and out.
Choose a surface on the 'ViewCube' (the navigation tool top-right) and click and drag to spin the model in 3D space.
Click 'DWG Convert' to save the file using an older version of the format.
Use the Plot option to print your file, or Export to save it as a PDF.
