PocketCAD opens DXF drawings on iPhone and iPad so you can review them, add quick markups, check shapes in 3D and share them as PDF.
FREE BASIC FEATURES
DXF/pcad viewing, drawing and editing, 3D views of shapes you create, and DXF/PDF export are free.
- OPEN DXF AS IS

- Entities that could not be read are listed with the reason
- Your original DXF file is never overwritten
- QUICK MARKUPS
Lines, circles, arcs, ellipses, splines, rectangles, regular polygons, polygons, text and leaders.
- Tap to place a point, or keep your finger down and drag to explore: the shape and the snap target are shown while you move
- An option offsets the point above your finger so it is never hidden
- Snap to endpoints, midpoints, centers, intersections and the grid; ortho mode; numeric input (length, angle, coordinates)
- Move, copy, rotate, scale, mirror and grip editing
- EDIT LIKE CAD
- Offset, trim (drag across to trim several at once) and extend

- Values you cannot point at, such as a box height, are entered right next to the shape; confirm to reuse the last value
- Orbit shapes you create with one finger
- SEND IT BACK AS DXF OR PDF
- Export DXF (AutoCAD 2018 format, UTF-8) to hand your drawing back to other CAD apps, Japanese text included. The AutoCAD 2000 format is available for older CAD apps
