What is the Online DXF Viewer with Measure Tool, Layers &?
Opening a DXF just to check a dimension or see what is in it should not need a CAD program. Drop a DXF onto this viewer and it draws the geometry — lines, polylines with bulges, circles, arcs, ellipses, splines, blocks and text — in a smooth pan-and-zoom canvas with a layer list that lets you show or hide each layer and see how many entities it holds. The status bar shows the cursor's coordinates, and the extents, shape counts, total path length, entity types and units are summarised below.
Switch on the Measure tool to click two points with snapping to endpoints, midpoints, circle centres and quadrants and read the distance, ΔX, ΔY and angle in millimetres or inches; click any line, circle or arc to see its properties — length, radius, diameter, sweep, perimeter, area and centroid. If a drawing looks 25.4 times too big or small, change the drawing units and everything updates. Nothing is uploaded.
