While AutoCAD remains the undisputed leader of CAD projects, its generated files still require dedicated software to be opened and processed.

Apowersoft CAD Viewer is one of the apps that can help you in this respect, by providing you with a tool that can not only open AutoCAD-related files, but it can also convert them to PDF.

The main window of the application is neatly organized and you can easily understand all the functions packed within the app. You can start by loading the DWG or DXF file you are interested in - it needs to be mentioned that tabs are supported, meaning you can open multiple drawings simultaneously.

Alternatively, you can start creating a new file from scratch, using the tools provided within Apowersoft CAD Viewer.

In addition to viewing the contents of your AutoCAD projects, you can also add some new elements, such as circles and polylines, along with text messages or other annotations. You can quickly hide all annotations when you want to focus on the actual drawing.

You also get the possibility to measure the distances in your file, as well hide or make visible all the integrated layers.  Another handy feature is rotating the entire document and adjusting the zoom level using only the mouse wheel.

Last but not least, you can export all the files you are currently working on to PDF, so as to make it easier for you to share them with your colleagues or simply open them on other devices. Obviously, you can only convert a single file to PDF as well.

All in all, Apowersoft CAD Viewer is a handy little app that you can rely on when you want to get a peek inside some AutoCAD-generated files, while also performing some light editing and conversion operations.
