PView

Pholio Productivity Apps

Toggle instant presentation and edit modes in Autodesk® AutoCAD®. Focus your workflow and reduce layer clutter with a single click.

$1.99

PView is a productivity add-in for Autodesk® AutoCAD® that gives you instant control over your drawing’s visibility and clarity. Designed for architects, engineers, and designers, PView lets you toggle between a “clarity/tweak view mode” and a full-edit mode—making your workspace clean and professional when you need to focus or present and instantly restoring all details when it’s time to work.

Core Features:

  • PViewON: Hide non-essential layers, hatches, Xrefs, or annotations with one click. Instantly create a clean view for reviews or screenshots—no manual layer tweaking needed.
  • PViewTWEAK: Shows only hatches; all annotation and text are hidden; all other geometry is faded using transparency.
  • PViewOFF: Restore all hidden layers and drawing elements to continue full-edit work with zero friction.
  • Seamless Workflow: No setup required. PView is ready to use on any DWG file and does not modify your original layer states.

 

Why Choose PView?

  • Save time toggling layers before every meeting or export.
  • Consistent, professional output—your drawings always look their best.
  • Easy for any team member to use; no configuration or training required.
  • Lightweight, secure

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

  • Supported: AutoCAD 2021–2026 (Win64).
  • No learning curve—install and start using immediately.
  • Read-Only Drawings: If you use PViewON or PViewOFF on a read-only DWG, AutoCAD may display a warning or error dialogue. No changes will be made to your drawing, but you must close the message to continue.
  • PViewOFF resets all object-level transparency values in the drawing. If you had manually assigned transparency to objects (not via layer), it will be cleared. Layer transparency settings remain unaffected.
