What is the CAD Converter?
This tool converts CAD drawings — DWG or DXF files — into PDF, so a drawing can be viewed, printed, or shared with anyone, without them needing CAD software installed. DXF, an open, well-documented format, converts reliably; DWG, AutoCAD's proprietary binary format, is attempted on a best-effort basis, since there's no free, standardized way to fully support every DWG version.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why might my DWG file fail to convert?▾
DWG is a proprietary format with many versions, and open-source tools have incomplete support for it. If conversion fails, try exporting your file as DXF from your CAD software first, then convert that — DXF support is much more reliable.
Will layers and layout be preserved?▾
The conversion renders your drawing's visible content as it would print — complex CAD-specific features like editable layers are not preserved in the PDF, as expected for any drawing-to-PDF export.
