Opening DWG Files
A smarter and easier way to open your DWG files
Our main focus is to provide a fast and easy to use solution to opening your DWG files. We understand that not everyone knows what scales and units are, especially when working with complex drawings. With this in mind, we’ve designed a system that automatically opens your DWG files with the most relevant scale and units, which in turn will make viewing your files faster. In addition to this, we’ve also included the ability to define custom settings for your DWG file, giving you complete control.

When you open a DWG file it will automatically open using the best matched settings applied to the drawing. However for more control, you can choose to open a DWG file and define the custom scale and units used, giving you more control.
The new DWG Viewer allows you to select the Layouts and Model space from the Layout menu. This means that you no longer need to re-open you DWG file via the Open menu and can open the individual parts of the drawing quickly.

Combine clear annotations with beautiful text
Annotate and markup your drawings with our easy to use Ellipse tool, combined with the modern and powerful Type tool giving you all you need for marking up your DWG files with those important comments and notes. Take your annotations to the next level, by customizing the fonts and styles you use with the familiar system text attributes. Annotating your drawings has never been easier.
With the Type tool you can quickly add comments and titles to your DWG files to communicate your suggestions to the designers. You'll then be able to change the colors, fonts and styles to make your comments pop and stand out.
The Balloon or Ellipse tool gives you an extra way of displaying your comments on the drawing. This is a great feature for when you have complex drawings and need a way to make your annotations stand out making it easier to read your comments.
Measure Tool
Quickly and easily measure parts of the drawing
A new addition to the latest version of DWG Viewer is the measure tool. This allows you to click on a single point on the drawing and drag a measuring line out that tells you the length of the measurement as you drag. This is a great way to quickly and easily measure the key components of your drawing with ease.
Document Tabs
Faster document management with Tabs
Document tabs are a much faster and cleaner way of displaying multiple documents in DWG Viewer. This combined with the ability to open layouts and multiple documents, means you can swap between your files faster than ever before. Turn document tabs on through View > Show Tab Bar and then either drag a tab from another document or use Window > Merge All Windows.
Layers
Complete control over the content you see
DWG Viewer will display all the layers attached to the DWG file you are opening. You’ll have the ability to hide and show the layers giving you the confidence that your drawing is displaying how you would expect. In addition a separate annotation layer has been added so that it doesn’t interfere with the rest of the drawing components.
Colors, Styles & Attributes
Make your annotations pop
Another new arrival in the latest DWG Viewer is the ability to change the colors and attributes of your annotations and balloons. Make your annotations pop and bring them to life by applying some color to them. Change the fill and stroke color, opacity, line thickness and the line style to add that little something extra to your DWG annotations.
Built into the latest DWG Viewer is the system colors selection. You can use this to change the colors of your text, fills and strokes. This gives you the conrtol you need to make your annotations stand out.
