About

AutoCAD DWG

DWG (Drawing) is Autodesk AutoCAD's native binary design file format, the most widely used format in engineering design and drafting. DWG files contain rich design information including vector graphics, text annotations, layer definitions, and block references. Vector features from DWG can be extracted to standard GIS formats through GDAL/OpenDesign libraries.

DXF

DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a CAD data exchange format developed by Autodesk, the native interchange format for AutoCAD. DXF stores vector graphic data in text format, including points, lines, polygons, text annotations, and layer information. In GIS, DXF is commonly used for data exchange with CAD systems, and many survey and engineering data are provided in DXF format.

Conversion trade-offs

AutoCAD DWG: limitations to know

  • Proprietary binary format, parsing relies on third-party libraries
  • Coordinate system information usually incomplete, manual specification needed

DXF: what you gain

  • Supported by virtually all CAD software and many GIS applications
  • Suitable for exchanging data with engineering surveys

Why convert AutoCAD DWG to DXF?

Converting AutoCAD DWG to DXF is one of the most common workflows in GIS. AutoCAD DWG data usually comes from desktop GIS software, government open-data portals, or data exchange with partners, while DXF is what modern tools, web maps, and platforms expect. This converter bridges the two: it reads your AutoCAD DWG files, keeps geometry and attributes intact, and writes clean DXF output — entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device.

Is the AutoCAD DWG to DXF converter free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up and no usage limits.

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting AutoCAD DWG to DXF?

By default the output keeps the source coordinate system. If your AutoCAD DWG file uses a projected CRS (like UTM), you can search any EPSG coordinate system by keyword or code and reproject in one step. Note: output formats that require WGS84 by specification (KML, KMZ, GPX) always reproject to WGS84 automatically.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes — drop several AutoCAD DWG files at once and each one produces its own DXF output.
