No AutoCAD. No install. No account. Open DXF drawings natively in your browser, convert DWG to DXF in one step — and your file never leaves your machine, because there is no upload.
Go to app.caddillo.com in any modern browser — Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox, on desktop, tablet or phone. Nothing to install, no account to create.
Drag a .dxf file onto the canvas (or use the file picker). It renders instantly — pan, zoom, fit-to-extents, and toggle layers on and off. Have a .dwg? Convert it to DXF first (see below), then drop the DXF in.
Inspect the drawing, toggle layers, and check dimensions. Add markup with the draw tools, then export your markup as a clean DXF that opens in any CAD program.
CADdillo parses and renders your drawing in your browser. There is no upload endpoint — the file is read on your own device and stays there. Cloud CAD viewers send your drawing to a server to render it; CADdillo doesn't. Confidential vendor drawings and NDA plans stay confidential.
Yes. CADdillo runs in your browser with no AutoCAD, no install and no account. DXF files open natively and render instantly. DWG files need one conversion step to DXF first — the viewer will prompt you when you drop a .dwg in. Native in-browser DWG reading is on the roadmap.
No. CADdillo parses and renders your file entirely in your browser — it is never sent to a server, because there is no upload endpoint. Confidential vendor drawings and NDA plans stay on your own machine. That is different from cloud CAD viewers that render your file server-side.
Most CAD tools "Save As / Export" to DXF. If a colleague sent you the DWG, ask them to export a DXF (every version of AutoCAD, LibreCAD, BricsCAD and DraftSight can). Free desktop converters like the ODA File Converter also do it. Once you have the DXF, drop it into CADdillo and it opens instantly.
Pan, zoom, fit-to-extents, toggle layers, and read dimensions and live cursor coordinates. You can also mark it up with real draw tools — line, polyline, rectangle, circle, text — and export your markup as a DXF. Full parametric editing and block placement live in the CADdillo editor.
The viewer and all 217 professional blocks are free forever. Pro ($20/mo) adds unlimited saved drawings, DWG import/export and monthly AI credits — versus about $60/mo for AutoCAD LT.
