Getting Started

Getting Started

You don't need to install anything to try Covaga ECAD Viewer — it runs in a regular web browser.

1. Open the viewer

Go to view.covaga.dev (or run it locally — see Installing Covaga ECAD Viewer).

2. Open a file

There are three ways to load content:

• Drag & drop a .epdz project or a .e3d part onto the window.
• Open file — top-right button, pick a .epdz or .e3d from disk.
• Sample files — open Settings (the ⚙ gear at the bottom of the left rail) → Sample files → Sample project or Sample 3D part. This is the fastest way to see what the viewer does without exporting anything.

Don't have a .epdz yet? See Exporting a Project from EPLAN.

3. Find your way around

The left rail switches between the main views:

Icon	View	Shows
🏠	Home	Your library and recent files.
⬚	3D	The 3D installation spaces of the project.
▤	Schematics	The 2D schematic pages.
ⓘ	Project	Project metadata read from manifest.db.

When you open a .epdz that contains 3D, the viewer jumps straight into the 3D view. Use the model selector (top-left) to switch between installation spaces, and the ISO / Front / Side / Top presets (bottom-left) to reframe the camera.

See Navigating the Viewer for the full tour.

A note on privacy

Everything is processed on your device. No file, page or model is ever uploaded to a server — you can even use the app offline once it's installed as a Installing Covaga ECAD Viewer.
