What is a .DSD file?
The most common data format on the web.
A DSD file is an AutoCAD Drawing Set Description, a plain-text configuration file that lists a group of drawing sheets for batch publishing to PDF, DWF, or a plotter. Open it in AutoCAD with the PUBLISH command (Load Sheet List), or in any text editor to read or fix file paths.

Frequently asked questions
Is my .DSD file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is opened directly from the copy you pick.
My .DSD file is invalid. Can you fix it?
We show the exact line and column of the first error. For common problems like comments, trailing commas, single quotes or Python-style True/False/None, click Try to repair and download the fixed file.
How large can the file be?
Up to 50 MB. The tree only builds the branches you open, so even multi-megabyte files stay responsive.
What is JSONPath?
A path like $.orders[3].customer.email that points to one value inside the data. Click any node to see its path and copy it for code, jq or your API docs.
Can I see my data as a table?
Yes. Any array of objects can be shown in the Table view and downloaded as CSV.
