Teigha® Viewer

Teigha Viewer is a free cross-platform application provided by the ODA for the visualization of CAD drawing files. It incorporates the power and flexibility of Teigha for .dwg files and Teigha for .dgn files into a single application that can render both .dwg files and .dgn files using a common command interface for both formats.
 
In addition to serving as a rendering tool, Teigha Viewer can be used as a test container application for TX developers. TX developers can load custom TX modules and run custom commands from the console, and can also customize the Teigha Viewer menus.
 
ODA members are utilizing the Teigha platform to create thousands of CAD and technical graphics applications across a wide variety of engineering domains. Teigha Viewer highlights only a small subset of the full platform capabilities.
