FREE TOOLS FROM BURY ASSOCIATES
Free Chrome Extensions
We build small, free browser tools to make everyday drawing work less painful - the sort of jobs where launching full CAD software is overkill. Both run entirely on your own computer: nothing you open is uploaded anywhere. No sign-up, no catch.
bScaler
Scale, measure & mark up PDF drawings
A PDF says "1:200 at A1" but on screen that scale means nothing. bScaler lets you set the true scale, then measure distances and areas and export a marked-up PDF.
- Set scale from sheet size & ratio, or from a scale bar
- Distance & area measurement with running totals
- Survey points, coordinates and levels
- Export a marked-up PDF
bCAD
View & mark up DWG / DXF drawings
Open a native DWG or DXF straight in Chrome. See it with its real layers and colours, measure it, drop numbered survey points, draw on it and export - without opening full CAD software.
- Opens native DWG as well as DXF
- Layers, measuring, survey points & snapping
- Coordinates, datum levels and ortho
- Export points to CSV, or a marked-up DXF / PDF
Both tools are provided free of charge as an aid for working with drawings. Measurements depend on the accuracy of the source drawing, so always verify anything critical.
