FAQ
What happens to my files?
Your files are deleted after 24 hours and never used for AI training. They are only used to make your conversion.
Who owns the converted drawing?
You do. You keep the ownership of your file and of the DXF and DWG made from it, commercial use included.
Do I need an account?
No. Drop a file, check the preview, download. The job page keeps your result for 24 hours.
What is in the download?
A zip with a DXF and a DWG (both R2000); a vector PDF from the DWG and DXF to PDF pages. Drawings over 50,000 objects come as the DXF only, with a note: save it as DWG in your software.
Is the drawing to scale?
Without a scale, a PDF comes in millimetres of paper and an image in pixels. On the preview, type the scale (1:100) or click two points and give the real distance between them.
Does it make 3D or BIM models?
No: you get a 2D drawing, lines, arcs, circles, fills and texts on layers. No 3D, no walls or rooms as BIM objects.
Are there limits on free conversions?
Free in every mode: 5 files and 3 downloads a day per visitor, files up to 50 MB, one PDF page per file. The counters reset at midnight UTC. Every example's DXF is free too.
What if the file doesn't open?
Write to us with the job page's address: we fix the conversion.
