Everything review needs

A full review workflow, minus the CAD seat.

Layers, measurement, and markup — the parts of CAD review you actually use, ready the moment a file opens.

Layers

See only what matters.

Search, isolate, hide, and show layers so a dense drawing stays readable. Every layer keeps its real color and state.

Measure

Measure straight off the drawing.

Distance, area, perimeter, and angle — snapped to geometry and captured to your drawing's scale.

Markup

Comment without touching the source.

Notes, arrows, rectangles, and revision clouds live on their own layer, so review stays clear and portable.

Caddis Cloud

Help shape what comes next.

Caddis starts local-first. Help us prioritize optional sync, secure storage, review links, and team workflows.

The viewer

A drawing you can actually work with.

Pan and pinch like paper. Snap to geometry. Lock the view before you hand it off. It behaves like the drawing itself, not like a file you happen to be looking at.

  • Local open. Supported geometry renders without a round trip to a server.
  • One experience. Identical tools on mobile and web.
  • Source-safe. Measurements and markup never alter the original file.

How it works

From file to feedback in three steps.

01

Open

Tap a file on your phone or drop it in the browser. No account, no conversion, no wait.

02

Review

Toggle layers, measure to scale, and mark up directly on the drawing.

03

Share

Export a view or annotation file directly from your device.

Local-first by default

Your drawings don't leave your device unless you say so.

Caddis opens and reviews files entirely on-device. Cloud sync, source uploads, and share links are opt-in, per project — a local session is never quietly turned into a cloud project.

Format compatibility

Truthful support, with limits called out.

STL and supported ASCII DXF/mesh geometry open locally. DWG, STEP/STP, IFC, and SolidWorks compatibility is limited to documented source subsets; unsupported geometry is rejected instead of replaced with a generated preview.
