DWG FastView Plus

DWG FastView Plus lets you open .DWG and .DXF files without needing a full CAD suite. The Plus version specifically adds the ability to use measurement and dimension tools alongside easy options for sharing your drawings.

More than just a viewer

The software is designed as a lightweight Windows application. It goes well beyond basic viewing, letting you use zoom, measure, and extraction tools to pull rich data from your files without dragging down system performance.

Exporting and comparison

You gain straightforward functionality for exporting drawings into various formats. You can even run two files side by side to quickly spot differences. It packs a solid range of features to make collaboration across different CAD environments easy.

Printing and perpetual licensing

You can quickly send your files to print, making it easy to take your drawings offline for further planning. The licensing model is another major advantage. While many CAD suites are notoriously expensive and strictly limit device usage, this program takes a more accessible route.

Users pay a one-time fee for a perpetual license, granting indefinite access to the software. With this approach to pricing, it stands out comfortably from much of the competition.

A specialized viewing tool

If you go in knowing that you are essentially getting a DWG and DXF viewer with extended capabilities, you will be happy with the results. It is important to remember, however, that this is not a standalone CAD drawing environment.
