Installation

As an individual, Drawing Sync is free to use. Drawing Sync requires that you have AutoCAD installed on your Windows device with an active subscription.

Drawing Sync supports DWG TrueView, which allows you to view previous versions from History quickly.

To install Drawing Sync

The installer and all executables are signed with a code signing certificate (CSA) which protects the software from alteration after publication.

Download Drawing Sync from the Autodesk Store at Autodesk App Store (AutoCAD).

If you see a Download warning message from your browser click … and Keep.

If you see a message that says Windows Protected Your PC, check that the Publisher is CODE TRUCK LLC and click More Info and Run Anyway.
Click Next to accept defaults. In the User Account Control (UAC) dialog, click Yes. Close to exit the installer.

The installer registers Drawing Sync commands (demand loading) for installed versions of AutoCAD.
If you want to verify installation, start AutoCAD and enter DSABOUT in the Command line.

If demand loading is disabled use the APPLOAD command to load C:\Program Files\Code Truck\Drawing Sync\dwgsync25.arx (AutoCAD 2025-26).

AutoCAD Version Upgrades

If you install AutoCAD after Drawing Sync has been installed, right-click the Drawing Sync icon and Run as Administrator one time to register commands for demand loading.

Drawing Sync installation applies to all verticals and toolsets for the version release. For example, if AutoCAD 2025 is installed and you later install AutoCAD Civil 3D 2025, you do not need to re-install or register new commands.

DWG TrueView

If you install a viewer after installing Drawing Sync, open the Settings dialog. In the Viewer box, browse to select dwgviewr.exe.
