Description

Bentley View serves as a complimentary CAD viewer that not only allows you to examine 3D models but also offers features such as object searches, precise distance and area measurements, and the ability to print drawings with full scale fidelity on any desktop. Boasting millions of users, it stands out as the most robust free viewer in the industry. While it is widely recognized as a leading AutoCAD reader, Bentley View supports over 50 file formats, including CAD files, raster images, and its own powerful iModels. The software enables the seamless opening of DWG and DXF designs with the same accuracy as the original authoring tools. Beyond its capabilities as a free DWG viewer, the latest CONNECT Edition introduces enhancements like additional format support and improved viewing functionalities. If your primary requirement is to simply view CAD files, Bentley View is an excellent free choice! However, for those looking to edit and create drawings, models, and visualizations, exploring MicroStation PowerDraft may be a worthwhile option to consider. This flexibility in functionality makes Bentley View an attractive solution for various user needs.

Description

ViewCompanion Standard serves as a robust application designed for the viewing, printing, and converting of plotter files produced by CAD programs or plotter drivers. It supports the opening of PLT files in various formats, including HPGL, HP-GL/2, KIPGL, HP-RTL, and Calcomp. Beyond plotter files, the software also accommodates the viewing, printing, and conversion of Adobe PDF, CGM, Autodesk DWF, and Gerber files. A key highlight of ViewCompanion is its capability to transform files into multiple other formats, enhancing versatility. Users can also utilize precise measurement tools that allow for accurate distance and area calculations, with a feature to snap to drawing geometry for increased accuracy. Additionally, if the drawings are not displayed at a 1:1 scale, the measurement tools can be calibrated for accurate results. Moreover, ViewCompanion enables users to enrich their files with annotations, incorporating various markup elements such as stamps, revision clouds, text notes, dimension lines, area measurements, barcodes, symbols, and images, thereby enhancing the overall functionality and usability of the application. This comprehensive suite of features makes ViewCompanion an invaluable tool for professionals working with intricate design files.
