The tools that matter between opening a plan and sharing a decision

PlanInspect is designed for reviewing the drawing, not replacing a full CAD authoring workstation.

Measure with the drawing in context

Check distances and areas directly on the active model or layout, with snapping and editable measurement points.

  • Distance and area measurements
  • Drawing units and snapping controls
  • Per-document review state

Record issues where they appear with notes, photos, pen, highlighter, and text markups while preserving the original DWG.

  • Color-coded notes with photos
  • Pen, highlighter, text, and eraser
  • Undo and redo for document edits

PlanInspect for Mac FAQ

Can PlanInspect open DWG files without AutoCAD?

Yes. PlanInspect includes its own native Swift DWG parser and does not require AutoCAD or a separate conversion step.

Is DWG TrueView available for Mac?

Autodesk's desktop DWG TrueView is a Windows product. PlanInspect provides a focused native Mac workflow for local DWG review, measurements, notes, markups, and exports.

Does PlanInspect upload my drawing?

No required upload is part of the viewing workflow. The DWG stays local unless you deliberately export or share an output.

Can I use my PlanInspect Pro purchase on Mac?

PlanInspect Pro purchases are shared across supported Apple devices when you use the same Apple ID.
