Fixx Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Have you found any clever tools for converting DWG to Designer? I have tried some of those chinese DWG > PDF converters that Mac App Store offers but so far either they have no working trial or they are unable to keep scale. I suppose can use heavy CAD apps for converting but I would rather use something light and simple. Mac is my platform of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstdefence Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 LibreCAD and FreeCAD are pretty light, FreeCAD has a clucnky retro 1980's look and not in a good way lol! FreeCAD is oriented towards 3D and LibreCAD is predominately 2D.

Fixx Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 Libre does not open DWG. FreeCAD imports DWG to filelist but crashes when I try to open the file to a window. I will check those online converters but I suppose they are just googled ones, you do not really use them, do you #v_kyr? At least Autodesk Viewer does not print or export vector data.
