dwgConvert : Perform conversions between all AutoCAD files formats (DXF, DWG, and DWF) or from AutoCAD to PDF, decompose entities to simpler types, and automate batch tasks via the software interface or the command-line console
dwgConvert is a software application whose purpose is to help you perform conversions between DXF, DWG and DWF file formats. The tool is able to read and write all AutoCAD DXF and DWG versions up to 2018, as well as supports AutoCAD DWF 4.2, 5.5, and 6.0 versions.
User interface
The GUI looks clean and embeds basic configuration parameters in the main panel. You should know it hides an extra set of advanced features under the hood. In case you cannot decode them on your own, you can appeal to the help manual included in the package.Batch processing is not available via the program’s graphical user interface but it can be activated using the command-line console.
Conversion settings
You are given the freedom to pick the file that you want to convert, select the saving directory, as well as choose the output format and file version.Additional settings offer you the possibility to decompose (explode) entities to simpler entity types, such as arc/circle to polyline, ellipse to polyline, hatch to lines, spline to polyline, table to lines/text, 3DFace (visible edges) to lines, and SHX text to lines and arcs.What’s more, you are allowed to delete entities for hidden layers, translate ECD coordinates to WCS coordinates, as well as translate model space (paper space is removed).Tests have shown that dwgConvert carries out the conversion process very quickly. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.
Final words
All things considered, dwgConvert makes it easier for you to convert AutoCAD files. It can be employed by rookies for straightforward conversion jobs, while advanced users may automate batch tasks via the command-line console and fine-tune the conversion parameters.
