JETCAM unveils v4 update to free CADViewer

The new release includes functionality updates and interface refinements.

JETCAM has announced an update to its free CAD Viewer, offering users an enhanced experience with several new features. The updated CAD Viewer includes new features and usability enhancements for more efficient and user-friendly viewing of 2D CAD files on Windows PCs.

Key enhancements include:

  • Automatic dark/light mode: Adapts to the Windows theme for a seamless viewing experience.
  • 32-bit and 64-bit versions: Choose the version that matches the system. The 64-bit version handles larger memory loads and is suitable for folders with many component files.
  • Layer visibility control: Show or hide individual layers in DXF and JETCAM files, making it easier to isolate and inspect key data like bend lines.
  • Raw data viewing: Access block and raw content data from DXF files for in-depth analysis.
  • JETCAM integration: Right-click on a JETCAM component to instantly open it in JETCAM Expert (when set as the default application).

The JETCAM CAD Viewer is a lightweight tool that requires little memory or hard disk space. It is designed to be installed alongside existing CAD/CAM software to provide a fast, one-click viewing of CAD files. The viewer is free, ‘as is’ and without warranty. It can be installed on an unlimited number of computers.


Additional benefits of the JETCAM CAD Viewer:

  • Completely free: No ads, no spyware, no internet connection required.
  • Lightweight performance: Uses under 100MB of memory.
  • Easy file navigation: Includes a tree view for local and mapped network drives.
  • Instant previews: Displays thumbnail images of supported 2D CAD files including JGF, DWG, DXF, and IGES.
  • Customisable default viewer settings: Choose to set as the default viewer for specific file types during installation.
  • Precision tools: Built-in measurement tools display part scale, with pan and zoom of the vector view.

The JETCAM CAD Viewer does not require any CAD packages to be installed to display thumbnail images. It is compatible with Windows 10 or above, and requires less than 100MB of hard disk space, and XGA graphics (1024×768) or above.
