Need to view, print or export legacy Personal Designer CAD drawings?
DraftView for PD is the most complete solution available for managing Personal Designer CAD data.

View, print, or export your DRW files from the convenience of Microsoft Windows, without the restrictions of Personal Designer's DOS requirements. Support for DRW files created by Personal Machinist, microCADDS, MicroDraft and 4Design is also included.

In many cases the solution for legacy CAD data is translation into other CAD systems. DraftView can export PD drawings using the popular DXF format. With a proven DXF translator, DraftView uses the latest technology to create the best available PD to DXF translations. DXF exports can be done individually as needed, or in "batch", by the thousands. As a PD viewer, DraftView's distinct advantage over other translators is that you can view precisely what is being translated.

DraftView has an intuitive, easy-to-use interface. It can be installed and licensed on individual PCs, or "floated" from a network server.

With DraftView, accessing PD drawings has never been easier!
