Its users interface is modern, intuitive and feature rich, designed to look the same on all supported OSes.

It also supports wires, pipelines and shell modeling, supports crash tests, groups and 3D assemblies, supports surface development, and supports parameters and geometrical constraints, but optional. Key features include support for drawing and editing 2D CAD files, support for exporting both 2D and 3D CAD files, 3D modeling support, calculations of 2D sections and 3D objects, plotting support, printing support, title block and BOM support, as well as support for mechanical parts and symbol libraries. The application is powered by the commercial and powerful VariCAD application (a separate review can be found on Softpedia), a 3D/2D CAD solution for mechanical engineering that features high performance and powerful tools to ease mechanical design tasks. VariCAD Viewer is a free, compact, fast, easy-to-use and cross-platform graphical software implemented in Java and designed from the ground up to provide users with a comprehensive viewer of CAD (Computer-aided design) files.
