Quick, professional markups on any snip. CADsnip is a free browser tool for architects, engineers and construction teams who need to point out a change fast, without opening a PDF editor. Snip anything on your screen with Win+Shift+S (a detail from a drawing, a model view, a calc or a site photo), paste it in and mark it up with revision clouds, dimensions, hatches, numbered side notes and stamps. You can also open a single PDF page. Copy the result straight into an email or Microsoft Teams, or save it as a PNG. Save the editable version as a .cadsnip file to change it later. It’s made for quick internal markups between colleagues. Formal review of full drawing sets still belongs in a PDF editor. No account and no upload: your snips stay on your device.

    "Excellent Tool for All Workstations"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-05-11

    Pros: - This tool makes sending screenshots so easy, even for users who are usually tech adverse.
    - The copy / paste feature makes for quick communication in instant messaging apps among teams.

    Cons: The free-form drawing feature would be useful but doesn't exist.

    Overall: This is one of the first things I add to any new workstation for our users. When one of our users learns about this tool, they're always so relieved to learn how easy this solution is compared to other screenshotting methods
