I have a pile of DWG and DXF drawings on hand, which need to be sent to others for sharing and review, but I worry about being randomly modified, or the files are too large and take too long to send. As professional engineering drawing formats, DWG and DXF retain the design data and layer content, but the file volume is relatively large and there is a risk of accidental modification. DWF format can maintain the visual effect while greatly reducing the file volume, and has superior security. Users who look at the drawing can only look and measure, but cannot change the original design.
Here, I 'd like to introduce you to an efficient method of converting CAD drawings into DWF in batches. The next time you pack and send a bunch of drawings, you won't have to deal with them one by one, so that the engineering documents can be lightweight and safe quickly. Come and have a look with me!
What is the situation to DWG, DXF to DWF format?
File sharing
DWF files are lightweight CAD file formats that are easy to share and view. Designers, because of their small size and do not contain editable content, often convert DWG and DXF formats to DWF formats for customers to view, while also protecting design files from modification.
Review Requirements
when collaborating, Party A or the construction party should review the drawings, but do not need to edit the content. At this time, we can convert the CAD drawings to DWF for feedback through the marking function, while avoiding complex CAD software requirements, simplifying the review process and improving the efficiency of collaboration in the work.
Reduce storage
usually DWG and DXF files contain complete design data, the file size is relatively large, in order to reduce the pressure of storage and network transmission, the design team will generally convert the file to DWF format, not only easy to archive backup, but also can improve the download speed of the file, easy to view in different devices.

Batch DWG, DXF file to lightweight DWF format operation steps
1. Open 【 HeSoft Doc Batch Tool ], select [More Tools]-[Convert CAD to DWF]].
2. Then select a method in [Add File] or [Import File from Folder] to import the CAD drawings to be converted. Dragging the files below is also regarded as addition, and then click Next. Enter the save page, click browse, and select the save location of the converted file.
3. After waiting for a while for the processing to be completed, click the red path after the save location. After opening the folder, you can see all DWF format files that have been successfully converted.
