About

ViewCompanion Standard is an application for viewing, printing and converting plotter files generated by your CAD program or plotter driver. ViewCompanion can open PLT plotter files using HPGL, HP-GL/2, KIPGL, HP-RTL and Calcomp formats. In addition to plotter files it can view, print and convert Adobe PDF, CGM, Autodesk DWF and Gerber files. One of the most important features is the ability to convert the viewed file into other formats. ViewCompanion can convert your files into several different formats. You may measure distances and areas using ViewCompanion's precise measurement tools with snap to drawing geometry. If your drawings are not in original scale (1:1) you may calibrate the measurement tools to provide correct results. Use ViewCompanion to annotate your files with markup elements like stamps, revision clouds, text notes, dimension lines, area measurements, barcodes, symbols, images and more.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Autodesk Design Review is very useful for viewing and checking design files without changing original drawings. I like that it supports many Autodesk formats and markup tools are easy to use. Commenting, measuring, and highlighting issues is simple and helps in team discussion. It is lightweight and runs smoothly on normal system. Good for engineers and reviewers who don’t need full CAD software.

Cons

  • The interface looks a bit old and not very modern. Sometimes large files take time to load. Limited editing options, mostly only for review purpose. Also support and updates feel slow compared to other Autodesk tools. Pricing can be confusing for new users.
