User reviews

The DXF Viewer add-on allows opening DXF files with basic viewing capabilities and is generally easy to use once installed. However, many users report it fails to display layers, text, and line properties properly. The zoomed-in view lacks scrolling functionality, making navigation difficult. Some drawings fail to display entirely, appearing as blank pages. Additionally, the installation experience is hindered by numerous advertisements and unclear instructions. Overall, the add-on's limited feature set and display issues reduce its usefulness.

Unbrauchbar. Bei zoom in sind keine Scrollbalken vorhanden, um die Ansicht zu verschieben.

Funktioniert nicht, es fehlen in meinem Fall schlicht die Ebenen mit Zahlen, man hat nur einen unvollständigen Plan vor sich. Kann bei jedem anders aussehen, hängt wohl davon ab, wie viele Ebenen der Architekt genutzt hat und was darauf ist (manchmal ist eine Ebene auch einfach ganz leer). Das kann jeder Online DXF Viewer besser. Ziemlich beschämend für AutoCAD, wenn sie nicht einmal ihr eigenes Dateiformat beherrschen...

功能很微弱，只能是预览而已，1、显示位置偏离屏幕。2、文字无法显示。3、不能显示图层，样式，每个线条的属性。4、无法查看每条线的长度等信息。没有使用价值。
