CAD Viewer Mac

Purpose-built CAD preview in a browser for Mac users. It accepts DWG/DXF inputs and renders 2D views and basic 3D geometry to support rapid content validation. Core capabilities include accurate geometry rendering, unit handling (metric/imperial), layer visibility, and viewport rendering. The tool is designed for engineers, architects, project managers, and educators who need a quick, private reference view without installing desktop software.

Conceptually, the system parses CAD entities on the client, applies coordinate transformations, and rasterizes the result for display. It emphasizes privacy by performing processing in the browser and supports large files through chunked loading where available. It also offers optional features such as measuring distances, capturing view snapshots, and exporting a PNG image to share with stakeholders.

Use cases span design reviews, on-boarding checks for new team members, and classroom demonstrations where a lightweight, accurate preview is sufficient before deeper analysis or handoffs. Unique differentiators include in-browser parsing without mandatory uploads, native metric/imperial support, and efficient rendering for macOS users across devices. Core features are deliberately scoped to viewing and quick validation rather than editing or conversion, which keeps performance high and risk low for sensitive CAD data.
