How to open Jw_cad drawings on a Mac
Jw_cad is free 2D CAD software for Windows (Jw_cad official site). There is no Mac version of Jw_cad. To work with Jw_cad drawings (.jww) on a Mac, pick the option that fits what you need.
View, measure or hand off drawings
JWW Bridge opens .jww files right on your Mac. Measure dimensions, add markup, and export DXF, PDF or images. No Windows and no Jw_cad needed.
JWW Bridge cannot edit drawings (draw lines or save over a JWW file).
Edit drawings
Use Jw_cad itself. On a Mac, you can run Windows in virtualization software and install Jw_cad there. This needs a separate Windows license.
Please note
JWW Bridge is an independent app. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the authors or distributors of Jw_cad.
