"AutoDesk Design Review delivers a fantastic CAD-viewing experience without skimping on features."
5/5
What do you like best about Design Review?

This free utility has never failed me in opening up CAD schematics of different formats such as, but not limited to, DWG, DWF, DXF, PDF & TIFF. As a structural engineer, I often receive civil & architectural plans in various formats that I wouldn't usually be able to view. But Design Review overcomes such issues thanks to its vast CAD compatibility support. Moreover, the user interface is silky-smooth & is well-optimized to run on even low-end hardware. Importing complex, large-sized files takes no time to render, & navigating through the drawing is stutter-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Design Review?

I haven't encountered any issues with the software thus far, so no complaints here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Design Review?

What I like the most is that you can handle many kinds of CAD formats for tracking changes and reviewing without needing the actual software; for example, you don't need Autocad or Inventor installed on your computer. Also, it is easy to use and very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
