About converting DWG to DXF
You don't need an AutoCAD license to work with a DWG. zumen-gate reads DWG files (R14–R2018) directly in your browser and converts them to DXF, which opens in practically every CAD application — no signup, no installs.
DWG is AutoCAD's native format. Receiving a DWG without having an AutoCAD license is one of the most common CAD headaches — zumen-gate reads DWG versions R14 through R2018 directly in your browser.
The converted DXF opens in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, LibreCAD, QCAD, and practically any other CAD application. You can choose between R2010 (AC1024) for modern software and R12 (AC1009) for older tools.
All conversions run through a single engine with a common intermediate representation. Every conversion produces a loss report tallying which entities were converted as-is and which were approximated or dropped — so you can trust the output, or know exactly why not.
FAQ
DWG → DXF conversion — frequently asked questions
Which DWG versions are supported?
R14 through R2018. The version is detected automatically on upload, so you don't need to check it beforehand.
Which DXF version should I choose?
Choose R2010 (AC1024) for AutoCAD and most modern CAD software. Choose R12 (AC1009) for older CAD applications or CNC/CAM tools. If unsure, try R2010 first and fall back to R12 if it won't open.
Will my drawing break when converting DWG to DXF?
The conversion is a deterministic, structural translation through a common intermediate representation. After every conversion you get a loss report listing exactly which entities were converted, approximated, or dropped — so you can verify the result on the spot.
Is there a limit on conversions or downloads?
No. Conversions and downloads are unlimited, and no account is required. The only limit is 10MB per file.
What happens to the files I upload?
Transfers and storage are encrypted, and your drawings are never sold or shared with third parties. On the free tier, uploads are used to improve the service and train our AI models, so please avoid uploading confidential drawings. A no-training Pro plan is available — see the data policy page for details.
