DWG TrueView is a program that allows you to view DWG and DXF files used in CAD applications. DWG TrueView can display projects in the same way as AutoCAD, displaying them in 2D and 3D and allowing them to be converted to other formats. The program uses the same engine as AutoCAD - this allows you to use the usual navigation tools, manage layers and scale models. With this application, you can accurately measure distances, angles, radii, areas and volumes, and view project properties and print on paper. DWG TrueView opens drawings in separate tabs, so you can work with several projects at the same time. In addition, the program can switch between layouts and saved views and publish drawings to DWF, DWFx and PDF files. Another useful feature of DWG TrueView is the built-in DWG Convert tool, which batch-converts projects to formats compatible with earlier versions of AutoCAD (2000, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013).

Please note: when installing DWG TrueView 2018, some users encounter a number of errors that make it impossible to continue with the installation or launch the program. In this situation, first of all make sure that you use the version that fits your operating system's 32 or 64-bit capacity, and that you have the .NET Framework 4.6 installed in your system. DWG TrueView 2018 supports Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1 and only the 64-bit edition of Windows 10. If the bugs continue, try using one of the older versions, which you can find in the Files section. Windows XP users should install the DWG TrueView 2013 version.
