This uploads a read-only copy to our server. The copy is deleted when the link expires or you revoke it. Cancel Clear local drawings View DWG Files Without AutoCAD Received a DWG but do not need to change it? Open the drawing here to inspect the plan, dimensions and layers before sending a review note back to its author. Start with Fit and check the file name. If geometry appears incomplete, inspect layer visibility and the drawing warnings before assuming the source file is empty. Review a Received DWG Read the plan at two scales Fit the overall drawing, then pan and zoom into a junction or dimension; use full screen for a larger review area. Isolate the relevant layers Hide unrelated information and compare outlines, text and dimension layers without deleting their objects. Verify a known distance Snap measurements to endpoints or midpoints, and compare the result with a dimension you know from the source drawing. Return a review copy Download a vector PDF or explicitly create a read-only link so a colleague can view and measure without changing your working drawing. DWG Files and Referenced Content Open DWG files up to 100 MB with no version-based payment tier. The broader CAD viewer also accepts DXF exchanges and DWT templates. A DWG can refer to content stored in other files. Referenced drawings are not loaded automatically, and raster image pixels are not rendered here. Review warnings; bind external drawing geometry in the source application before retrying. Use the original CAD application for a PDF that must include raster images. Open DWG, DXF or DWT DWG to PDF workflow How to Open a DWG File Online Open the received DWG Choose your DWG file, drag it here or start with a sample to learn the controls. Inspect the details that matter Fit the drawing, isolate layers and measure a known feature before reviewing finer details. Send the right kind of result Export a PDF for comments, switch to the editor for a revision, or choose a local or cloud save explicitly. A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS Frequently asked questions How do I open a DWG file without AutoCAD? + Select your DWG in this page and use the browser viewer to pan, zoom, switch layers and measure. If the drawing reports missing resources, resolve those in the original CAD application before relying on an export. Is there a free online DWG viewer? + Yes. Opening a DWG and using layers or measurements is free, as are editing, conversion and watermark-free exports. Up to 50 browser file tasks are available each UTC day, with a 100 MB limit per file. Does it work on mobile? + You can select a DWG on your phone, pinch to zoom and use the bottom viewing toolbar. A complex drawing may need more loading time and memory than the official small samples. Are my files secure? + The DWG is processed in your browser for viewing, editing and conversion. Save on this device keeps an optional local copy; Share and Save to Cloud ask before uploading a copy. Why is part of my DWG missing? + First check Fit and layer visibility. Then inspect any missing-reference or image warnings. External drawings must be bound into ordinary geometry in the original CAD application; raster image pixels are not displayed by this viewer.
