DWG to JSON - High-Speed, High-Accuracy DWG Converter

Convert DWG to JSON

DWG to JSON Conversion

Simplify your workflow: export DWG drawings to JSON in just three straightforward steps:

  1. Download & Install:

    Export JSON files directly from DWG drawings using Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD session.

  2. Execute JSON Export:

    Launch the export process by typing AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the desired 3D entities (Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, or 3D Face) from your DWG model space.

  3. Save as JSON File:

    In the save dialog, set the file type to JSON (*.json), choose your save location, enter a filename, and click Save to complete the export.

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 CityJSON File

A modern, JSON based (JavaScript Object Notation) file format designed for storing 3D city models. It efficiently represents buildings, roads, bridges, and other urban features with support for textures, semantics, and metadata.

Key Features of CityJSON

  • JSON-Based:

    Lightweight, human-readable, and easy to parse (no complex XML like CityGML).

  • Semantic Richness:

    Preserves object attributes (e.g., building heights, roof types, road classifications).

  • LOD Support:

    Stores multiple Levels of Detail (LOD1 - LOD4) for flexible use cases.

  • Web-Ready:

    Works seamlessly with JavaScript, APIs, and 3D web viewers (like Cesium or Three.js).

  • Open Standard:

    Developed and maintained by the 3D Geoinformation Group (Delft University).

CityJSON File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application let you import, export, and convert CityJSON files to formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, and 3DS while preserving semantic data and geometries. Easily integrate 3D city models into your workflows - try our CityJSON converters today!
