Can anyone suggest a good Mac viewer for AutoCad files? Trueview is Windows only & it needs to be a download, not an online browser based version. It doesn't have to be free, paid for is ok.

I've seen DWGSee but are there any others that we can try?

I've used Auto Desk Viewer before, works ok. https://viewer.autodesk.com

Also used edrawings https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/edrawings/id12097543... in the past, again it worked ok for me.

eDrawings Viewer is a straightforward viewer for .dwg. Also on iPad and Windows

Thanks, but the first one is an online viewer which is no good; I'll look at the second one later.

Ah, from your first post I thought you wanted a browser version.

Also, if you want to edit, print or convert .dwg, you can import into Affinity Designer, although I’ve found it a bit hit-and-miss for complex files
