PocketCAD - DXF Viewer

Free: DXF/pcad editing and DXF/PDF export. PRO: JW/3D import, measurements, sections, parts, 3D export and ad removal. Try guided samples before buying.

PocketCAD opens DXF drawings on iPhone and iPad so you can review them, add quick markups, check shapes in 3D and share them as PDF.

FREE BASIC FEATURES DXF/pcad viewing, drawing and editing, 3D views of shapes you create, and DXF/PDF export are free.

• OPEN DXF AS IS

• Open DXF files from Mail, Files and other apps

• Japanese text (Shift_JIS / UTF-8) is supported

• Entities that could not be read are listed with the reason

• Your original DXF file is never overwritten

• QUICK MARKUPS Lines, circles, arcs, ellipses, splines, rectangles, regular polygons, polygons, text and leaders.

• Tap to place a point, or keep your finger down and drag to explore: the shape and the snap target are shown while you move

• An option offsets the point above your finger so it is never hidden

• Snap to endpoints, midpoints, centers, intersections and the grid; ortho mode; numeric input (length, angle, coordinates)

• Move, copy, rotate, scale, mirror and grip editing

• EDIT LIKE CAD

• Offset, trim (drag across to trim several at once) and extend

• Fillet and chamfer, including "All Corners" to round every corner of a rectangle at once

• Dimensions: linear, aligned, radius and diameter. Tap a line to dimension it end to end

• SEE IT IN 3D

• Extrude closed shapes into prisms, pyramids or frustums

• Revolve a shape around an axis

• Values you cannot point at, such as a box height, are entered right next to the shape; confirm to reuse the last value

• Orbit shapes you create with one finger

• SEND IT BACK AS DXF OR PDF

• Export DXF (AutoCAD 2018 format, UTF-8) to hand your drawing back to other CAD apps, Japanese text included. The AutoCAD 2000 format is available for older CAD apps

• For PDF, choose paper size, orientation, scale and line weights, preview, then share. Monochrome output is available

• NO ACCOUNT No sign-up or sign-in. Drawings are stored only on your device or in your own iCloud Drive.

PRO FEATURES (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) The following features require PRO. Existing PRO owners get them at no extra charge.

• Drawing sheets and title blocks: save paper, orientation, scale and region settings, then create a multipage PDF
• Import JWW/JWC/JWK, STL, OBJ/MTL, static GLB/glTF and 3MF
• Check model dimensions, surface area, closed-mesh volume and vertex distances
• Numeric transforms, annotations and approximate section drawings
• Register and place parts, edit attributes and export a bill of materials as CSV
• Export STL, GLB and 3MF
• Remove ads and restore your purchase

FREE PRO EXPERIENCE (WITH LIMITS) Explore measurements, sections, transforms, parts, sheet settings and PDF preview with original samples. Saving and export are unavailable during the experience. Check a non-interactive overview and import diagnostics for your own JW and 3D files. Zoom, pan, rotate and work on them after purchasing PRO.

Some data within supported formats may be unsupported. See in-app help for JWK units and text settings, mesh approximations and unsupported extensions or presentation features.

DWG files are not supported; export them to DXF first. You can remove ads with the one-time PocketCAD Pro purchase. The app is available in English and Japanese.
