No. Save the drawing as DXF in your CAD program.

Can I measure distances in the drawing?

No. The tool is a viewer and converter; it does not offer dimensioning or measuring.

Why do some elements not appear?

There are specific CAD entities (such as complex hatches and 3D objects) that are not interpreted. The displayed drawing is a 2D approximation.

Is there a size limit?

Yes: the DXF file can be up to 20 MB.

Does the drawing get a watermark?

There is no watermark. Exported files carry the credit “Processed by WebFaz.com” in their metadata.

Can I use it to manufacture the part?

Use it to check and share. Curves are approximated by segments and entities may be omitted; before producing, check in the source program.

View and convert your CAD drawings

Open a 2D DXF, explore the layers and export the Model as an image or PDF.

The layers will appear here.

The export uses the visible layers and the whole drawing, regardless of the zoom.

Fitted to the page, with a 10 mm margin. Rasterized PDF, with no technical scale.

Resolution

Explore the drawing

Drag to move, zoom with the mouse wheel and use Fit to go back to the whole drawing.

Choose the layers

Hide what you do not want to include. SVG keeps the strokes as vectors; PNG and PDF use the chosen resolution.

Compatibility

2D ASCII DXF in the Model. Layouts, 3D solids, hatches, splines and CAD fonts are not reproduced faithfully. Export DWG to DXF before opening.

About CAD

Views 2D DXF drawings, controls layers and converts to PDF, SVG or PNG without installing CAD software.

What this CAD viewer does

Open and share a technical drawing without CAD software installed. The features that stand out:

From DXF to PDF, SVG or PNG
Open the drawing and export it in the format the recipient uses. The file does not leave your device.
Layers you turn on and off
The file’s layer list lets you hide dimensions, axes and borders to export only what matters.
PDF on the paper and in the orientation you choose
From A4 to A0, in landscape or portrait, with the drawing centered on the page.
Drawing colors or monochrome
Choose between keeping the layers’ colors or exporting in black and white, with a dark or white background.
Vector SVG or PNG at the resolution you want
SVG does not lose definition when enlarged; the PNG comes out at the resolution (width in pixels) you choose.
Navigation with zoom and grid
Zoom in, pan, fit the whole drawing and turn on the grid.

A practical example

A client sends the drawing of a part as a DXF and you do not have CAD software on your computer. You drag the file onto the page, turn off the dimensions layer to see only the outline, zoom in on a hole and export a landscape A4 PDF to attach to the quote. Nothing was installed and the drawing never left your device.

How to use it

Open the DXF file.
Navigate, zoom in and turn layers on and off.
Choose PDF, SVG or PNG.
Download.

Limits and cautions

Only 2D drawings in DXF; DWG and 3D models are not supported.
Very specific CAD entities may not be displayed.

WebFaz CAD with a DXF drawing open: the layer list on the left, the drawing in the center with zoom and grid, and on the right the export options (format, background, colors, paper, orientation). — **CAD: layers, drawing and export.**
Point 1: Open a 2D DXF drawing or drag the file onto the drawing area.
Point 2: The layer list lets you show or hide parts of the drawing before exporting.
Point 3: Choose the output format (PDF, SVG or PNG) and the paper, color and resolution options.
Point 4: Download the converted file.

When to use it

Checking a technical drawing received from a client or supplier without installing CAD software.
Generating a PDF or PNG of a project to attach to an email, proposal or document.
Isolating layers of a drawing to see only what matters, such as the outline without dimensions.

Tips

If the drawing is a DWG, open it in your CAD program and save it as ASCII DXF.
For sharp printing, choose a higher resolution in PNG or prefer SVG, which does not lose definition when enlarged.
Turn off auxiliary layers (dimensions, axes, borders) before exporting if you do not want them to appear.

What happens in your browser

The DXF (ASCII format, up to 20 MB) is read in the browser and converted into an SVG drawing. The entities interpreted are lines, polylines, circles, arcs, ellipses, text, points, solids and inserted blocks (INSERT). Entities outside that list are not displayed, and the tool warns you when that happens.

The file’s layers become a list with on/off switches. Navigation is done with the mouse wheel for zoom and dragging to pan.

SVG export comes straight from the drawing. PNG and PDF are generated from an image drawn in the browser at the chosen resolution; for PDF you set the paper size and orientation, and the drawing is centered on the page.
