Listing of CAD/CAM/CAE file viewers

edit

Please add these to the above table and delete them from this list. --DuLithgow (talk) 09:06, 18 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

There are no open source viewers for DWG files since the licensing of the libraries needed by lx-viewer[1] now restricts their use to members of the Open Design Alliance.

what is a file viewer

edit

almost every CAD editor has a free viwer for their native file format, except the big ones ( siemens, ptc DS ). However these reader generally only open their own closed file format. to me such a product cannot be considered a CAD CAM CAE file viewer and therefore shouldn't be listed. Only viewers with multicad capability, or the ability to open file format that is widely available should be considered --Dwarfpower (talk) 09:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi User:Dwarfpower. Do you have a suggestion for criteria that could be useful here? What you say is quite correct. --duncan.lithgow (talk) 20:51, 18 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
