DWGSee
What it is
DWGSee is a DWG viewer and editor for opening, editing, measuring, and printing DWG, DXF, and DWF drawings. It also supports BMP, JPG, PNG, GIF, and TIF images. Users can add drawing objects and edit text, lines, layers, and block attributes. Smart-snap tools measure length, angle, radius, and area, and printing can handle individual drawings or batches. For review, DWGSee shows two drawing versions in split windows, synchronizes zoom and pan, and highlights differences. Markup can be saved in a separate overlay or added to a DWG as layers, lines, and text. The feature list includes encryption and password protection. Pro exports drawings to PDF and raster images; Standard does not include those exports. Standard and CAD can copy drawings into Microsoft Word as vector images, while Pro does not include that feature. DWGSee lists Android, macOS, web, and Windows availability, alongside a free plan and free trial. Lifetime plans are listed at $69, paid once for Standard, $98, paid once for Pro, and $198, paid once for CAD.
