DWG to X - Fast and Flawless DWG Transformation

Convert DWG to X

DWG to X Conversion

No more complexity - exporting DWG drawings to X is now a 3-step simple task:

  1. Download & Install:

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

  2. Execute X 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 X File:

    In the save dialog, set the file type to X (*.x), 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!

X Direct3D File

Developed by Microsoft in 1995 as part of DirectX for Windows 95, this format stores 3D mesh geometry along with materials and textures. It served as the original interchange format for DirectX’s graphics and multimedia APIs.

Key Features of X

  • Origin:

    Developed by Microsoft in 1995 as part of DirectX.

  • Geometry:

    Stores 3D mesh data including vertices, faces, and normals.

  • Animation:

    Supports skeletal animation with bone hierarchies and skinning weights.

  • UV Mapping:

    Includes texture coordinate data for applied images.

X File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application enable effortless conversion of X files to your native 3D environment, including STL, OBJ, 3DM, SKP, STEP, and other industry-standard formats to bridge DirectX assets with CAD, 3D printing, and computational design workflows. Need to modernize legacy X files? Our X file converters ensure smooth transitions to contemporary workflows.
