DWG 2D/3D CAD Drawing

A proprietary binary file format developed by Autodesk for storing 2D and 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) data, including vector graphics, metadata, and geometric models. As the native file format for AutoCAD, DWG is the industry-standard for engineering, architecture, and construction design due to its precision, versatility, and widespread compatibility.

Standout Features of DWG

  • Compatibility:

    DWG drawings are compatible with other software packages, such as ZWCAD, Bricscad, and IntelliCAD, which also support the DWG format. This makes DWG files the industry-standard in CAD.
  • High-Precision Vector-Based Design:

    DWG files store vector-based data, 2D drawings, and 3D models, along with metadata, making them highly versatile. Ideal for technical drawings and designs requiring extreme accuracy, such as engineering blueprints and architectural plans.
  • Support for Blocks:

    DWG format supports for "blocks", which are reusable design elements like symbols or templates, which help improve efficiency, maintain consistency across designs, and reduce file size by reusing common components without duplicating DWG data.

DWG Drawing Converters

DWG drawings can be easily converted into various 3D and GIS file formats, such as OBJ, STL, DXF, KML, and KMZ, using our add-ons - Automesher Application and Automapki Application. This allows you to seamlessly share your AutoCAD DWG drawings across different platforms and applications. Convert DWG to SKP, KML, STL and more - try our converters with a free trial today!


JSON GeoJSON Features File

A geospatial data interchange file format that encodes geographic features using lightweight JSON syntax. Designed for both simplicity and interoperability, it provides a versatile way to represent geometric primitives along with rich attribute data and spatial reference systems.

Key Features of GeoJSON

  • JSON Syntax:

    The GeoJSON format uses JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), which is a lightweight and human-readable data format. It can store collections of geographic features and their custom properties in a structured and consistent way. It can also be easily parsed and validated by various software applications.
  • Geographic Features:

    The GeoJSON format can store point, line string, polygon, and multi-geometry representations of geospatial data. These are defined in the WGS84 spatial reference system, which is the standard coordinate system for global positioning. Each feature has a geometry and a set of attributes that describe its properties, such as name, type, area, population, etc.
  • Limitation on Appearance:

    Unlike other map file formats, GeoJSON does not provide a means to define the appearance or style of geographic features. This is an important consideration when planning your geospatial data visualization.

GeoJSON Map Converter

Automapki Application seamlessly integrates geospatial data with your CAD workflow, enabling direct GeoJSON import/export/convert within AutoCAD, Bricscad, and ZWCAD environments. This powerful add-on lets you combine precise CAD designs with real-world geospatial information, visualizing your projects in their actual geographic context. The application automatically handles coordinate system conversions and accurately projects GeoJSON features onto georeferenced DWG drawings, ensuring perfect spatial alignment.
