TurboViewer and Pro Frequently Answered Questions:
...
Answer: No, TurboViewer Pro supports DWG, DWF, DXF, and PDF natively. The other 20+ CAD formats such as DGN,SKP, 3DS, STEP, IGES, require a 'One-Time' convert process on our cloud convert servers and then downloads it back to your device. Once a non-native CAD file is converted, it will be copied to your TurboViewer Pro Inbox folder and can be opened without converting again. This works great when you no longer have a internet connection since the file can be loaded locally from your Inbox.
