Free AutoCAD File Viewer Software Autodesk DWG TrueView is free multimedia software that allows users to view AutoCAD and other DWG files. Since DWG TrueView is only a browser, you cannot use it to modify drawings. However, you can measure and print your drawings and convert DWG files between AutoCAD formats. It is especially useful for architects, engineers and builders. DWG TrueView free? Autodesk DWG TrueView is a free standalone DWG browser. It is built on the same platform as AutoCAD, an industry standard paid computer aided design (CAD) and software design application. DWG TrueView allows you to view the latest DWG, DWF and DXF file formats just like you would in AutoCAD but without paying a license (function () {(‘review-app-page-desktop’ );}); DWG Trueview is a Windows application only and is not available for Mac operating systems. Since 2007 there have been several versions of the DWG TrueView product. DWG TrueView 2019, 2018 and 2017 are available in 64-bit and 32-bit versions. Autodesk DWG Trueview 2020 is only available in 64-bit versions. System requirements for the latest version include Windows 10 Anniversary Update (version 1803 or higher), Windows with update KB2919355, and Windows 7 SP1. Downloading Autodesk DWG Trueview for Windows couldn’t be easier. Simply download and run .exe and follow the onscreen instructions to extract the installation files, which will take a few minutes. After extracting the files, proceed with the actual installation (after accepting Autodesk’s license and services agreement). The installation took about five minutes. Installation instructions in this version are in English only, although other language versions are available. After the installation is complete, you can click Finish – the program will not open automatically. What is DWG TrueView used for? DWG is a file extension used to draw programs such as computer-aided design (CAD) software. DWG TrueView is primarily intended for professionals who obtain data from AutoCAD DWG or DXF drawings, but who do not need to edit or prepare drawings. Architects, engineers, and construction professionals are likely to find this a useful program. TrueView can be set to automatically open DWG and other compatible files. Alternatively, it is very easy to open files from the user interface. After opening the file, a toolbar will appear at the top of the interface that divides the tools into different functions. The tools are grouped on different tabs, including basic navigation for scrolling, zooming and rotating drawings. When you hover your mouse pointer over the icons, extensible tools appear that provide fairly comprehensive guidelines. This is useful for new users. Users also have the option to customize the user interface using the tools on the User Interface tab. This includes displaying tiles horizontally or vertically as well as cascading them. You can also choose how you want to display tabs from the drop-down menu next to Home. Alternatives to Autodesk DWG Trueview include DWG Viewers AutoCAD Viewer for Drawing, DWG Fastview, and Draftsight, and they are all very easy to use.SDWG DXF Converter allows users to convert DWG to DXF files. A range of non-editing tools Broadly speaking, all non-modifying functions related to AutoCAD are available in DWG TrueView. They include DWG Convert, which allows users to create an older version of DWG (such as AutoCAD 2000, 2004, etc.) from the current file. The icons on the Output tab refer to drawings, such as the Plot icon, that you can use to print paper. The batch plot icon is useful for publishing drawings or groups of drawings in DWF, DWFx, or PDF format. It can also be used to draw a collection of drawings. The View tab allows you to select and set a visual style such as 2D wired or 3D conceptual, while AutoCAD layer editing is available on the Layer tab. A particularly useful tool in DWG TrueView is a measurement tool that allows users to measure and see every dimension of an open drawing. Drawing tools under Object Snap can be used to measure your drawing more accurately. These tools allow you to click on a specific location of an object when selecting a point. Finally, the export function can be found in the application menu and is useful for exporting DWG or DFX files to DWF, DWFx and PDF output files. Limited editing functionality Autodesk DWG TrueView is naturally limited in its functionality. Anyone looking for more editing tools should consider using AutoCAD. It has standard functions and libraries to meet the needs of different professionals. With AutoCAD you can create floor plans, parts, walls, windows, doors and other layouts. It’s not as easy to use as Autodesk DWG Trueview, but it has extensive help menus with information about its tools and features. However, utilizing all the features of the software is expensive and licenses cost thousands of dollars per year. Useful Additional Enhancements You can enhance the capabilities of DWG TrueView by adding Design Review, another Autodesk product. This add-on extends the DWG browser feature set by allowing you to view, tag, print and track changes to 2D and 3D files for free. It is especially useful in a collaboration environment as it allows you to add comments, information and other files. As an alternative to DWG TrueView, Autodesk Viewer allows you to easily view and share designs in your browser instead of downloading software. Use it to view the design, take screenshots for presentations, and measure components. Files viewed in Autodesk Viewer can be shared through a URL, so it’s useful when working with someone who doesn’t have Autodesk programs installed in their free DWG browser. Buying individual licenses for complete CAD software can quickly become inaccessible. Autodesk DWG Trueview provides a convenient solution for those who only need to view, convert and export DWG files and do not require any design features. While the program is easy to use for professionals, DWG TrueView will inevitably appeal to architects, creatives, engineers, and designers.
