CADReader
CADReader (also known as CAD快速看图) is a CAD drawing viewer application designed for quickly opening and viewing CAD files on Mac. It supports various CAD file formats and provides tools for measuring, annotating, and reviewing technical drawings without requiring full CAD software. The app is particularly useful for architects, engineers, contractors, and other professionals who need to view and markup CAD drawings but don't need full editing capabilities. It offers a lightweight alternative to heavy CAD applications when you only need to review or share technical drawings.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on the available information, CADReader appears to have been updated to version 5.2.1.13 (compared to the Intel version 4.2.1). However, the architecture support for this newer version cannot be confirmed from the current data. Since this app appears to be actively maintained by the developer (evidenced by the significant version jump from 4.2.1 to 5.2.1.13), I recommend checking the official website or updating through the Mac App Store to see if a native Apple Silicon version is available. If the current version still runs only through Rosetta 2, you should monitor for future updates as the developer seems to be actively working on the software.
