How to Use WeekendCAD
1
Create a Project
On the home screen click + New Project to create a project. Give it a name, description, and part number. Projects are private to you until you invite collaborators.
2
Import Your BOM
Open a project and click Import BOM. Upload an Excel (.xlsx) or CSV file. WeekendCAD will parse your columns and map them to part number, description, quantity, and level fields automatically.
3
Navigate the Tree View
The Tree tab shows your assembly hierarchy as a visual bubble tree. Click any bubble to inspect it — the detail panel opens on the right with part info, quantity, and linked files. Use the scroll wheel or trackpad to zoom, and click-drag to pan.
4
Switch View Modes
Use the tab bar at the top of the viewer to switch between: Tree (visual hierarchy), Table (flat sortable list), Chart (grouped breakdown), and Files (all uploaded documents).
5
Upload Drawings & Files
In the Files tab, upload PDFs, DXFs, STEP files, or images. WeekendCAD will attempt to auto-match files to part numbers in your BOM. You can also manually link a file to a specific part from the detail panel.
6
Share & Collaborate
Click Share to generate a read-only link anyone can view without signing in. To give someone edit access, invite them by email from the project settings panel.
7
Status Bar
The bar at the bottom of the viewer shows live counts: Items (total BOM rows), Assemblies (parent nodes), Images, and Drawings linked to parts. Use the Feedback button on the right to report issues or share ideas.
