If you have ever studied engineering, such as construction, design, etc., it is not strange for a .dwg file - the extension of AutoCAD drawing software. To read DWG files, of course, we need AutoCAD software. However, what if there is no AutoCAD installed on our computer?
In this article, Thuthuatphanmem.vn will guide you how to open DWG files online with two websites: Online DXF and DWG Viewer and Autodesk Viewer Online.
1. Online DXF and DWG Viewer
You can access the website at:
https://gallery.proficad.eu/tools/AutoCAD-Viewer.aspx

Step 2: After downloading the DWG file successfully. Now you can choose to convert the DWG file into a PDF file (1) or click on the image (2) to view the entire image in a large DWG file.
- Advantages: DXF and DWG Viewer is fast, compact, does not require account creation and is completely free, supports converting DWG into PDF.

Through this article, hope you can view DWG files in case the computer does not have AutoCAD software installed. Another big drawback when watching online will be Vietnamese font errors. However, in order to handle DWG files better and more professionally, we need to install AutoCAD on the computer to read and process files better. Good luck!
