Run CAD from the USB drive
ProfiCAD is a software program for drawing electrical and electronic diagrams, schematics, and other types of technical diagrams.
Unzip the zip file to your flash drive and run ProfiCAD.exe.

ProfiCAD Viewer
ProfiCAD viewer lets you view drawings created in Proficad on Android devices.
For now, the viewer has several limitations (for example, it does not show cross-references).
How to open a drawing in ProfiCAD Viewer?
To transfer a drawing into your tablet or cellphone, use one of the cloud storage services (e.g., Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive etc.). Click on the drawing that you wish to view. A menu of programs will open. Select ProfiCAD Viewer from the menu.
It is also possible to open drawings directly from email (tested with Gmail).
