Drop on DXF
Release the files over DXF. A progress ring counts up, and each DXF file is saved next to its original.
What Filee does for DWG → DXF
DXF is the interchange format that laser cutters, CNC software and most CAD programs read. Converting DWG to DXF lets you open AutoCAD drawings in those tools, and DXF back to DWG works too.
- Built in: works right after installing Filee, with nothing else to download.
- No AutoCAD or DWG viewer needed.
- Batch: one file or hundreds, converted in parallel; a failure never stops the rest.
- Private: files are converted on your PC and never uploaded, even without internet.
- Saved next to the original, or in a folder and with a file name pattern you choose.
DWG can also become
- SVG
- PNG
