Open the ViewerCan I Open a DWG File on My iPhone?
Yes. Most native iOS DWG viewer apps require paid subscriptions, but Innerscene’s free browser-based viewer works in Safari or Chrome on any iPhone or iPad. No app to download, no account to create.
The viewer processes your DWG file entirely on your device — your files are never uploaded to any server.

iPad Pro as a Field Review Tool
iPad Pro’s large display makes it ideal for reviewing architectural drawings on construction sites. Open the viewer in Safari, load your DWG, and review the plans with your team — no laptop required.
Honest limitation: For very large DWG files (over 10 MB), performance is better on a desktop browser with more available RAM. Most standard architectural drawings work well on iPad.
