Open CAD drawings and geospatial data on iPhone, iPad and Mac, inspect them on a map, and add geometry and photos. Jeomatik Viewer supports Netcad NCZ, DXF, DWG, DGN V7, KML, KMZ and ESRI Shapefile (SHP) files. EXPLORE YOUR DRAWINGS Search layers, expand or collapse groups, and change visibility and colors. Navigate with pan, zoom, zoom window and zoom extents. Display point and area labels, closed-area fills, coordinates and scale information. Quickly access your five most recent files, use keyboard shortcuts and work with Apple Pencil interactions on compatible iPads. OBJECT SEARCH AND REFERENCES Search labels, layers, object types and attributes in the main drawing and visible references. Narrow results with layer and type filters. Inspect object properties in reference drawings and snap to their geometry. Work with references in different supported coordinate systems. CREATE POINTS, LINES AND AREAS Create points, polylines and closed areas in an open drawing. Edit point names and coordinates and attach photos. Move draft vertices, undo the last point or cancel a line or area. New geometry is added to the user drawings layer; the source file is not automatically overwritten. JDD PROJECTS, SHARING AND RECOVERY Save the main drawing, view, object notes, photos and added parcels in a JDD project. Use Share Project to send your current work through the system share interface. Reference drawings and MBTiles sources remain linked files and are not embedded in the JDD. Open project photos in full screen, zoom in and pan to inspect details. Automatic recovery keeps a separate copy of unsaved work changes. Restore the work in that recovery copy when you next open the app. Recovery does not replace saving your project. MAPS, COORDINATES AND PARCELS View supported georeferenced data over Apple Maps, Apple Satellite, OpenStreetMap, XYZ services or offline MBTiles. Add XYZ services from the catalog or use your own URL, and add WMS services as reference layers. Assign a coordinate system by selecting a datum and projection or searching for a supported EPSG code. Query parcel geometry from TKGM by block and parcel number or by selecting a location on the map. KML/KMZ folders become layers, preserving supported style colors and multipart geometry. Matching PRJ and DBF files are read for SHP data. PERFORMANCE AND FILE DISPLAY Object search and project sharing are prepared in the background. Checks prevent results from an earlier document appearing after you switch documents. Corrected DWG arc angle conversion ensures arcs crossing zero degrees render with the correct sweep. FREE AND PRO TOOLS File opening, viewing, layer control, point/line/area creation and JDD project saving and sharing are free. A one-time Pro purchase unlocks adding reference files and web services, object search and properties, distance/area measurement, and export to NCZ, DXF, DWG, DGN V7, PNG, PDF, KMZ and GeoJSON. No subscription is required. Snapping supports points, endpoints, midpoints, positions on lines, centers and intersections. IMPORTANT DETAILS DGN support is limited to V7/ISFF; DGN V8 is not supported. PNG/PDF exports exclude basemaps. KMZ/GeoJSON export requires a supported coordinate transformation. Not every EPSG code or SHP projection is supported. Local file viewing needs no app account; online maps and purchases use the internet. DWG is a trademark or registered trademark of Autodesk, Inc. Jeomatik Viewer is an independent application and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Autodesk.
