About

CADsnip is a browser-based markup tool for architects, engineers, contractors and other construction professionals who need to communicate changes on drawings. Users can capture a portion of a drawing with Win+Shift+S, paste it into the editor, and add text, revision clouds, dimensions, hatches, numbered side notes and stamps. It also supports opening a PDF page for markup. Finished markups can be copied into email or Microsoft Teams or saved as PNG, while editable work can be saved in CADsnip's .cadsnip format and reopened for changes. Light, Dark and CAD themes are available, and the browser app runs in Chrome, Edge and Firefox. No sign-up is required, and images remain on the user's device. A Windows desktop version is in development.

About

Excalibur View is a drawing viewer, markup and takeoff program for construction, written by a working structural steel estimator. Markups are ordinary PDF annotations, so a set marked up here opens in Bluebeam Revu or Adobe with everything in place. It imports Revu .bpx profiles and .btx tool sets with their tools, custom columns and unit weights. Measure length, area, count, volume and angle at the drawn scale. Tools carry their own unit weights, so a measured beam puts tonnage on the takeoff as it is drawn. The Shop List reads the same markups back as a cut list, with stock length, saw kerf and drops. Free for one person, including paid work, with no account and no expiry. Offices add Excalibur View Office at $250 per seat, paid once, on a machine you own. Updates are an optional $100 per seat per year. There is no cloud. Drawings, markups and takeoff never leave your hardware. Source published under the Elastic License 2.0.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I'm not one who really gripes about privacy and data sovereignty but the ability for a company to self host everything without trusting corporations with their data I believe is going to be next level in these coming years. Its extremely seamless and I love the classic mode it kind of gives it a windows 98 style look lol. overall its freaking cool to use and the fact you can build your own plugins and modify it yourself is awesome. More construction software needs to be like this.

Cons

  • Some tools were a bit Janky which is to be expected with something so new, things like sheet overlay worked but took forever to load and was just slow.
