Along with conversions you can rotate your CAD files! All is done in batch so you save a lot of your valuable time.

With Total CAD Converter you can also resize your CAD drawings.

Total CAD Converter can turn color drawings to black-and-white. Sometimes yellow lines aren't clear enough unless you turn them grey.

Combine several CAD files into one multi-page TIFF or PDF file.

When you convert several folders, the program can combine the output files of each folder. I.e. you convert 2 folders with 5 DWG files in each to TIFF. You get 2 TIFF files.

If you want to convert CAD files on your server, apply for the server version. It is licensed per server.

When you convert CAD to JPEG you can define the quality and smoothing for the resulting image.

Convert DWG, DXF, SVG, and many other files in seconds via our clear wizard-mode interface.

The widest list of output file types: PDF, TIFF, JPEG, BMP, WMF, PNG, DXF, BMP, CGM, HPGL, SVG, PS, and SWF!

Total CAD Converter allows selecting compression mode, image DPI, photometric interpretaion for output TIFF images.

The built-in Preview panel helps you to find the file you need faster.

Add text watermarks to the header or the footer of the output file to prevent unauthorized use or add your copyright info.

Want more order? Add page counters or a date to every page of the output files.

When you convert DXF or DWG to PDF you can set user permissions, password-protect your files or sign them with your digital signature. Both PDF and PDF/A files are available.

Use it as a powerful but affordable DWG converter. Batch convert files from and to DWG for easy sharing or importing to other Autocad apps.

Try the Total CAD ConverterX (SDK) to use it in your ASP or PHP application with ActiveX.

DWF File

File extension	.DWF
Category	CAD File
Description	DWF is an open-source extension, by aid of which users share data, which is contained in CAD projects. AutoCAD features DWF6 eplot, in which these files are generated. This format uses a type of compression, which enables you to easily share hitherto bulky graphic data. However, it is impossible to operate DWF files in the same way as projects themselves, because their content cannot be changed. AutoCAD 2004 incorporates its own DWF viewer. Also, there are utilities allowing users to open DWFs without installing the package. Autodesk has come up with a free utility supporting this extension, and it is commonly used for viewing and marking DWF files.

DXF File

File extension	.DXF
Category	CAD File
Description	DXF (Drawing Interchange File Format, Drawing Exchange Format) was intended as a universal extension to boost the compatibility of documents created in AutoCAD. Based on ASCII, it shows better compatibility than DWG. For instance, the Valve Hammer Editor exports 3D data in the DXL format, so that other programs can be used to open them. Over its history, which started in 1982, the DXF format has undergone numerous transformations.

A contractor sent us DWF files but our team only has AutoCAD. Converting to DXF let us open and edit the drawings directly — saved us from re-drawing everything from scratch.

Used this to recover geometry from a set of old DWF design review files. The DXF output was editable and preserved most of the layer structure, which was exactly what we needed.

We archive project deliverables as DWF, and this tool lets us extract DXF whenever a client needs to reuse geometry. Quick conversion with no manual redrawing required.

DWF to DXF Converter — Frequently Asked Questions ▼

What is a DWF file?

DWF (Design Web Format) is Autodesk's read-only format for distributing CAD drawings. It preserves geometry, layers, and annotations for viewing and markup, but the drawing cannot be modified without first converting it to an editable format.

How do I convert DWF to DXF online?

Upload your .dwf file using the button above. The converter extracts the vector geometry from the DWF and outputs a DXF file ready for import into AutoCAD, LibreCAD, or any other compatible CAD application. No software installation is required.

Will layers and linework be preserved in the DXF?

The converter transfers the geometry and layer structure found in the DWF. Complex features such as external references or proprietary Autodesk block definitions may be flattened, but standard linework, arcs, and polylines are retained.

Can I edit the DXF in AutoCAD after conversion?

Yes. DXF is AutoCAD's standard interchange format. Once converted, you can open the file in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, LibreCAD, or any other DXF-compatible CAD application and modify dimensions, linework, and layers normally.

What is the maximum file size?

The online converter accepts DWF files up to 50 MB. Most 2D DWF files are much smaller; large DWF packages with many sheets may approach the limit.

Can I convert a multi-sheet DWF to DXF?

Multi-sheet DWF files typically produce one DXF output representing the first or primary sheet. For sheet-by-sheet batch extraction, a local CAD scripting approach gives more control over which sheets are exported.

Are my uploaded files kept private?

Uploaded files are deleted automatically after you download the result. They are not stored, indexed, or shared.

Convert DWF to DXF — Make CAD Drawings Editable Again

DWF is a read-only format for distributing Autodesk drawings — you can view it but not modify the geometry. Converting DWF to DXF gives you an editable CAD vector file that AutoCAD, LibreCAD, and other CAD tools can open, dimension, and revise. Drop your .dwf file above.

What Is DWF?

DWF (Design Web Format) is Autodesk's format for sharing design data without exposing the source drawing. It is compact and carries geometry, layers, and markup, but it is intentionally locked for editing. Recipients can measure and mark up a DWF but cannot alter the underlying vectors or export them back to a working drawing format without conversion.

What Is DXF?

DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is Autodesk's open interchange format for CAD vector data. First released with AutoCAD, DXF is now supported by virtually every CAD application — AutoCAD, BricsCAD, LibreCAD, FreeCAD, SolidWorks, and many others. DXF stores lines, arcs, polylines, blocks, and layers in a text or binary structure that any CAD tool can import and edit.

DWF vs DXF — Format Comparison

Property	DWF	DXF
Developer	Autodesk	Autodesk (open standard)
Data type	Vector (read-only publish)	Vector (editable exchange)
Editable in CAD	No	Yes
Application support	Autodesk viewers	Virtually all CAD tools
3D support	Yes	Yes (3D DXF)
Layer preservation	Yes	Yes
Use case	Drawing distribution	CAD data exchange and editing

When Do You Need DWF to DXF Conversion?

Receive a DWF from a client and need to revise or extend the drawing
Import geometry from a DWF into a non-Autodesk CAD application
Extract and re-dimension linework from a distributed drawing
Feed a DWF floor plan into fabrication or CNC software that reads DXF
Archive a DWF as an editable vector format for future modification
Merge drawing elements from a DWF with another DXF project file

Scripted Conversion

For bulk or automated workflows, drive the conversion from a script. A Python or PowerShell loop can call this online converter, or perform the same transformation in-process with widely-available libraries.
