DWG FastView Plus

As some of you who already work with them on a daily basis may already know, CAD files have always been associated with resource-hungry programs to view and edit them, thus limiting their use to users who own beefier computer systems. More so, not only are these generic tools usually hard on your processors and graphics card, they are also known to take quite a lot of disk space too, which is quite cumbersome, especially when all you want to do is view the DWG file, and not edit it. DWG FastView Plus is quite a departure from that pattern, as it is a lightweight software tool designed with the sole purpose of opening and viewing DWG files.

Users experienced with using CAD editors will find this software tool to be equally familiar as far as the UI goes. It has fast response times and can load a bunch of DWG files instantly, even AutoCAD® R12 to 2018 DWG/DXF files without size limitation. Once opened, the project can be maneuvered however you please, regardless of whether it is a 2D or 3D project. Among the available movements, we can mention zoom, pan, 3D Orbit, and magnifier.

Aside from the actual viewing process, more precise measurements must be taken, including assessing whether or now the design has the right proportions in terms of measurement units. To help you with this, you can display the linear horizontal and vertical measurements of closed objects temporarily, or the ability to apply standard dimensioning tools to add accurate information to Drawing design. DWG FastView Plus can double as a DWG converter, allowing you to change between various DWG file formats available without any loss in quality. This conversion can be applied to multiple designs simultaneously, as the program can easily support batch conversion.

If all you are interested in doing is opening DWG files, inspecting them, changing their format and printing them, then you can forget about installing mammoth-sized apps in favor of something extremely lightweight, like DWG FastView Plus.
