This presentation provides an overview of Autodesk’s free desktop viewers—DWG TrueView, Navisworks Freedom, and Revit Viewer—and explains why they are critical for collaboration, review, and QA/QC without requiring full authoring licenses. It walks through the core capabilities, limitations, and ideal use cases for each viewer, highlighting how they support safe, read-only access to drawings and models while preserving data integrity. The session compares the viewers side by side to help users choose the right tool based on file type, workflow, and stakeholder needs. Overall, the presentation emphasizes best practices for viewer-based review workflows across CAD, BIM, and multi-discipline coordination environments.
