DWGSee CAD 2025 adds improved dimensioning, advanced selection, and object isolation/hiding, giving developers more granular control.

DWGSee CAD by AutoDWG is a lightweight software tool with a command line interface designed to facilitate the viewing, editing, and management of DWG, DXF and DWF files, which are commonly used in computer-aided design (CAD).

These include features for isolating and hiding objects (ISOLATEOBJECTS, UNISOLATEOBJECTS, HIDEOBJECTS), improved dimensioning (DCANGULAR, Jogged Dimension), and advanced selection tools (SELECTSIMILAR, Selection Cycling). Collectively, these commands enhance the flexibility and precision of 2D drawing management using DWGSee CAD.
