Mobile DWG viewer and editor for on-site drawing review
Handles core CAD files and preserves visual fidelity
SteadyCAD reads industry-standard DWG and DXF files and accepts custom fonts including SHX, TTF, OTF, TTC, and BigFont, which preserves drawing appearance when you open plans on a device. File discovery scans local storage for drawings so users find project files without manual import. Supported exports include PDF, PNG, and JPEG, which lets teams share snapshots or full sheets with other stakeholders.
Supports common field workflows for measuring and markup
The app provides measurement tools for distances, radii, and angles, plus 2D drawing primitives for lines, circles, rectangles, and text. Snap-to-point selection and a magnifier tool improve placement accuracy when you move objects or add annotations. Undo and redo let you experiment with markups on site while keeping the original drawing intact.
Mobile-focused interface that reduces desktop clutter
Designed as a mobile-first CAD interface, the app avoids desktop-style menus and exposes layer visibility, lock controls, and basic editing from touch-friendly tools. The interface expects touch input and on-device file access permissions, so users familiar with desktop CAD may need a short adjustment period to adapt gesture-based controls and font registration workflows.
Performs on standard Android hardware and works offline
Rendering is described as fast on mobile hardware, and the app supports offline editing of locally stored drawings, which suits remote sites without connectivity. Export previews are customizable for high-resolution images, and undo/redo works during batch edits, indicating stable handling of routine field tasks rather than large-scale desktop modelling.
Practical mobile CAD for field review, not a desktop replacement
SteadyCAD is a capable mobile CAD app for architects, engineers, and site managers who need accurate on-site viewing, measurement, and basic editing, since it opens DWG/DXF, registers custom fonts, and works offline. The app does include an ad-supported free tier and a premium tier that removes ads and unlocks advanced features, so teams expecting full desktop fidelity should treat it as a portable companion rather than a direct substitute.
