About

In addition to viewing 3D models, you can use Bentley View as a free CAD viewer with capabilities to search for objects, measure distances and areas accurately, and print drawings to scale with full fidelity, on every desktop, for free. With millions of users, Bentley View is the industry's most powerful free viewer. In addition to being the most popular AutoCAD reader, you can view over 50 file formats, including CAD and raster images as well as Bentley's uniquely powerful iModels. You can easily open DWG and open DXF designs with the same fidelity as the authoring software. More than just a free DWG viewer, some of Bentley View’s recent enhancements in the latest CONNECT Edition include newly added format support and advanced viewing features. If all you need is to view CAD files, then Bentley View is a great free solution! If you also need to edit them to generate drawings, models, and visualizations, you might consider MicroStation PowerDraft.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The price is very competitive, as a 2D Cad program it does all you could want.
  • Low price and compatibility with CAD files.
  • Works for CAD, has some AutoCAD like features and can type commands from AutoCAD shortcuts so easy to use if had AutoCAD background.

Cons

  • Once it starts to crash, it gets worse and worse, trying to get help from 3DS is (or was,I’m my case) a complete & utter waste of time. Never even had the decency to reply, wether they could help or not. You have to assume NOT as they didn’t reply. Awful experience!
  • The application crashes all the time and you lose unsaved work, plus the time to restart the application. Horrible technical support.
  • No SUPPORT for paid version other than support groups. As free version, support was typical. When changed to pay only version - there is basically not support.
