What Is the Ted’s Woodworking CAD Viewer?

- 🧭 Zoom into specific measurements or joints
- ✏️ Customize dimensions before printing
- 📏 Scale drawings to fit your project space
- 🖨️ Print plan sections at different zoom levels

Why the CAD Viewer Matters
Many free woodworking plans are only available in PDF or image format. That means:
- ❌ You can’t zoom in clearly on measurements
- ❌ You can’t adjust scale or proportions
- ❌ You’re stuck with fixed dimensions
Ted’s CAD viewer gives you flexibility—especially helpful for:
- Modifying projects for smaller spaces
- Adjusting furniture dimensions to match existing decor
- Scaling up small projects for commercial builds
Who Is It For?
You don’t need to be a designer or use full AutoCAD to benefit from this tool.
The included CAD viewer is:
- ✅ Easy to install
- ✅ Lightweight on your computer
- ✅ Designed for beginners and DIYers
- ✅ Compatible with Windows (.exe) or can be used alongside other DWG viewers for Mac users
Even if you’ve never used a CAD tool before, you’ll quickly be able to view, zoom, and print project blueprints at custom scales.
Projects That Benefit Most from CAD Access
- 📏 Cabinetry and shelving units — Customize width, depth, or shelf spacing
- 🪑 Benches and tables — Adjust leg angles or support dimensions
- 🐓 Chicken coops or sheds — Fit plans to your backyard space
- 🏠 Furniture for tight spaces — Make a version that fits your wall or closet
- 🧸 Small gift projects — Scale down toys, boxes, or crafts
Bonus Tip: Use Free DWG Editors
While the included viewer is great for inspection and printing, you can also:
- Export plans to LibreCAD (free open-source)
- Import into SketchUp or Fusion 360 for advanced edits
- Print to PDF for mobile or print-shop use
This makes the plans incredibly versatile compared to traditional woodworking books or single PDFs.
