In CAD drawings, DWG is a widely used industry format. When technical teams using different CAD software are required, the more versatile DXF format can show significant advantages. As an open graphics exchange standard, DXF can effectively retain the basic information and layer structure of graphics, and can guarantee the mutual transmission of design intent in different systems. In the face of hundreds or even thousands of drawings, batch conversion can not only ensure the consistency of the format, but also get us out of repetitive operations and greatly improve the efficiency of design work.
This article will introduce a practical method to help us quickly convert DWG files in CAD into DXF graphics files. Come and have a look with me!
What scenarios do I want to convert CAD files to DXF format?
Cross -platform collaboration
in engineering design work, different teams may use different CAD software, DXF format as a through the graphics exchange format, can maintain a compatibility of drawings in a variety of design platforms. In cross-platform collaborative projects such as architectural design and mechanical manufacturing, we can convert CAD drawings to DXF to ensure that the files are complete and correct when opened in different software.
CNC machining and equipment import
some industrial equipment requires DXF files as output. In order to quickly use the design results for production, designers will convert CAD drawings into DXF format, which can be directly imported into the equipment, reducing errors caused by incompatible formats and improving production efficiency.
Long-term storage and version compatible
DXF is an open file format, which is more suitable for long-term archiving and sharing than some CAD formats. Converting CAD to DXF can help reduce the risk of file damage due to software upgrade or version incompatibility, and is also convenient for subsequent re-editing and viewing, with availability.

Batch DWG, DWF batch into DXF drawing operation steps
1. Open 【 HeSoft Doc Batch Tool ], select [More Tools]-[Convert CAD to DXF]].
2. Select a method in [Add File] or [Import File from Folder] to add CAD files that need to be converted into DXF graphics, or drag them directly below to add, and then click Next. Then click Browse to determine where to save the converted file.
3. After the processing is completed, click the red path and open the folder to view the converted DXF file.
