Free DWG Viewer 6.3.0.18

Do you want to be able to view DWG and other AutoCAD files, like DWF and DXF? If you answered “Yes” to that question, then there is only one thing you can do. You need to do what I always do – turn to software and see if there is an application out there that can lend a helping hand.

The application that can help you out in this situation is the Informative Graphics Corporation-developed Free DWG Viewer. As this application’s name so adequately points out, it allows you to view AutoCAD DWG files and it doesn’t ask for money in return. That much is obvious from the application’s name; here are the parts that are not obvious from its name:

- Free DWG Viewer also provides support for DWF and DXF files.
- View and measure DWG, DXF, DWF.
- Support for Xref is provided (view layers and block attributes).
- You can use Free DWG Viewer as a standalone desktop application or a web browser application.
- Free DWG Viewer is easy to use, accurate and fast.

To enjoy the functionality Free DWG Viewer provides, you must first get the application off the web and into your computer. Since the download weighs in at some 40MB, the download may take a while to complete, especially if you are on a less than spectacular internet connection. Installing the application on the other hand does not take long at all – installing Free DWG Viewer is a simple process that goes along smoothly and rapidly.

Free DWG Viewer provides support for several versions of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system. This includes the old but popular Windows XP, the much avoided Windows Vista, and the latest and greatest, Windows 7.

After you’re done installing Free DWG Viewer you can use it for as long as you want without parting with your hard earned money – just thought I would mention that one more time.
