What you’re converting

DWG and PDF, in context.

DWG

What is DWG?

DWG is Autodesk's proprietary format for 2D and 3D CAD drawings — the native file type for AutoCAD since 1982. It stores vector geometry, layers, blocks, dimensions, and metadata in a binary format. Opening a DWG requires CAD software.

PDF

Why convert to PDF?

PDF is the universal format for sharing drawings with clients, contractors, and anyone without CAD software. It's printable, markup-friendly, and readable on any device. Ideal for tender submissions, reviews, and archive snapshots.

When to use it

Three reasons to convert DWG to PDF.

01

Share with non-CAD users

Clients, contractors, and regulators often don't have AutoCAD. A PDF means they can open, review, and print the drawing without any special software.

02

Tender and contract submissions

Most tender portals accept PDF but not DWG. Convert before submission to keep layer structure and line weights intact.

03

Archive and reference

PDF is the long-term archive format — readable in 20 years regardless of CAD software changes. Use it for project closeout and as-built records.

How it works

Three steps, nothing to install.

01 · UPLOAD

Drag in your file

Your DWG file, up to 100MB. No account required for the first 10 conversions per day.

02 · CONVERT

Trusted engine, ~5–15s

We run DWG → PDF through the same pipeline we use for BoQ extraction. Nothing lossy, nothing skipped.

03 · DOWNLOAD

Save or keep going

Download your PDF — or continue to BoQ extraction on the same drawing.

DWGPDF specifics

Questions about this conversion.

Broader questions on the FAQ page →

01

Does it preserve layers and line weights?

Yes. Each DWG layer becomes a PDF layer (visible in Adobe Reader's Layers panel), and line weights are faithfully reproduced at the specified print scale.

02

What's the file size limit?

100MB per DWG file. Typical conversion takes 5–15 seconds depending on complexity.

03

Does it work with multi-sheet DWGs?

Yes. All model space and paper space layouts are exported as separate pages in the PDF.

04

Which AutoCAD versions are supported?

AutoCAD R14 through the current release. Older versions (pre-R14) may need to be upgraded first.

or, do more than convert

Already converting? Go one step further — get a structured BoQ.

Finorly takes the same drawing and extracts a full BoQ — mapped to NRM2, POMI, CESMM4, or SMM7. About 30 seconds instead of 4–8 hours.

Why is this free?

Because you’re already doing this conversion somewhere. We’d rather you do it here, see the speed, and decide whether our BoQ extraction is worth paying for.
