Field notes / Guide 01

Open a DWG drawing on iPhone.

When a drawing arrives while you are away from your desk, LinePocket’s opening workflow keeps a local copy for reviewing later.

1. Save the DWG attachment to Files, or open its share sheet and select LinePocket. LinePocket may be under More.
2. In the main app, tap Open Drawing and select the file. Wait for the local copy and drawing preparation to finish.
3. Read any import warning. Use Fit, pan, and pinch to inspect the part of the plan you need.
4. Open Layers and hide distracting layers. Check labels and relevant geometry against the expected drawing.
5. Return to Saved Files to reopen the local copy later.

If the DWG does not open

Some versions or custom objects may be unsupported. Try a permission-cleared 2D ASCII DXF export from the authoring application. For large drawings, use the main app rather than the Share viewer.

Free includes viewing, navigation, layers, and saved drawings. An active measurement trial or Pro is needed to measure a drawing. Compatibility varies by drawing content.
