About DXF to DWG

DXF to DWG is for the moment someone asks for the DWG and your drawing lives in DXF. You may have drawn it in LibreCAD or QCAD, exported it from Inkscape or Fusion 360, or received it from a supplier. Architects, engineering offices and many clients work in DWG, so we save the file in AutoCAD's own format.

Pick the AutoCAD version that matches the recipient: 2018 by default, or 2013, 2010, 2007, 2004 or 2000 for older installations. A DWG saved for an older release opens in that release and every newer one, so going lower is the safe choice when you don't know what they run. DWG is binary, so the file is usually smaller than the DXF.

Why use Cubfile for this

  • AutoCAD's native format

    The DWG opens directly in AutoCAD and in DWG-based programs such as BricsCAD or ZWCAD, with no import step.

  • Versions back to 2000

    Save for AutoCAD 2018, 2013, 2010, 2007, 2004 or 2000 so older installations can open the file.

  • Usually smaller files

    DWG is a compact binary format, so the file you send is typically lighter than the DXF.

  • Private conversion

    HTTPS upload, a separate isolated process for each job and automatic deletion after one hour.

FAQ

DXF to DWG: questions and answers

Which AutoCAD version should I pick for DXF to DWG?
Ask what the recipient runs and choose that version or an older one. If you can't find out, a file saved for 2007 opens in AutoCAD 2007 and every release after it. A drawing that's already a DWG can be saved down to an older release with the CAD Version Converter.
Why convert DXF to DWG at all?
Many offices standardize on DWG and some portals accept nothing else. It's also AutoCAD's native format, so it opens without an import step and is usually smaller.
Do I need AutoCAD to convert DXF to DWG?
No. Everything happens on this page, in any browser on Windows, Mac, Linux or a phone. You can check the finished DWG in the CAD Viewer, also without AutoCAD.
