DWG Viewer

Open DWG Files in Your Browser — Free, Instant, Private

View AutoCAD DWG floor plans without installing software or paying for a license. Floors.live processes your DWG file entirely in the browser using WebAssembly — nothing is uploaded to a server. Crop the area you need, calibrate the scale, and start designing your event layout on top of the architectural drawing.

Open a DWG File Free

Open Any DWG File — No Software, No License

Drop your DWG file into Floors.live and see it rendered in seconds. The viewer is powered by LibreDWG compiled to WebAssembly, running entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your computer — there is no server upload, no cloud processing, and no account required to view. Supports DWG files up to 50 MB from any AutoCAD version.

Browser-based DWG rendering via WebAssembly (WASM)
No software installation — works on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge
No AutoCAD license required
Files processed locally — nothing uploaded to a server
Supports DWG files up to 50 MB
Compatible with all AutoCAD DWG versions

Hebrew Text Support — Automatic SHX Font Detection

Israeli architectural plans use AutoCAD SHX fonts that map Hebrew characters to ASCII keyboard positions. Most DWG viewers render these as gibberish. Floors.live automatically detects SHX-encoded Hebrew text and remaps it to proper Unicode Hebrew with correct right-to-left rendering. Room names, dimension labels, and annotations appear exactly as the architect intended.

Remapping from ASCII keyboard positions to Unicode Hebrew glyphs
Right-to-left (RTL) text rendering with correct direction attributes
Preserves numeric dimension annotations (e.g. H=2.86)

The only web-based DWG viewer with Hebrew SHX support

Crop, Zoom & Select the Floor Plan Area You Need

Architectural DWG files often contain entire building complexes, multiple floors, or site plans. Use the built-in crop tool to select just the floor or room you need. Zoom in with the slider, pick an aspect ratio (free, 16:9, 4:3, or 1:1), and export a clean, focused floor plan region — as vector SVG with no quality loss at any zoom level.

From Viewer to Event Layout Editor

Unlike static DWG viewers that only let you look at a file, Floors.live turns your architectural drawing into an actionable event floor plan. After importing and cropping your DWG, place tables, chairs, stages, bars, and 40+ event objects directly on the drawing — all at accurate real-world scale. Then manage your guest list, auto-assign seating, and share the layout with your team.

Automatic scale calibration from DWG drawing units
14 unit types supported (mm, cm, m, ft, in, and more)
40+ drag-and-drop event objects (tables, stages, bars, AV equipment)
Guest list management with CSV import and auto-assign seating

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I open any AutoCAD DWG file?⌄

Yes. Floors.live supports DWG files from all AutoCAD versions. The viewer uses LibreDWG compiled to WebAssembly, which handles the full DWG format specification including lines, arcs, circles, polylines, hatches, text, and dimension entities. Files up to 50 MB are supported.

Is my DWG file uploaded to a server?⌄

No. Your file is processed entirely in the browser using WebAssembly. The DWG binary is parsed and converted to SVG on your own computer. Nothing is sent to any server, making it safe for confidential architectural plans and venue layouts.

Does it support Hebrew text in DWG files?⌄

Yes — and this is a feature unique to Floors.live. Israeli architectural plans typically use AutoCAD SHX fonts that encode Hebrew characters at ASCII keyboard positions. Most viewers render this as random Latin characters. Floors.live automatically detects SHX-encoded Hebrew and remaps it to proper Unicode Hebrew with correct right-to-left rendering.

What DWG versions are supported?⌄

All DWG versions are supported, from legacy AutoCAD R13 through the latest AutoCAD 2025 format. The WebAssembly-based parser handles the full range of DWG file format revisions.

How is this different from Autodesk Viewer or DWG TrueView?⌄

Autodesk Viewer requires uploading your file to Autodesk servers and creating an account. DWG TrueView requires downloading and installing a 1 GB Windows application. Floors.live runs instantly in any browser, processes files locally with no upload, and goes beyond viewing — you can crop the floor plan area, calibrate the scale, and design an event layout directly on the drawing.
