Description

This comprehensive DWG converter operates in batch mode, enabling users to transform DWG files into various formats such as PDF, WMF, JPEG, TIFF, EPS, SVG, and CGM. It features command line support, and doubles as an excellent free DWG viewer, accurately identifying literal fonts and entity colors. The tool allows for the simultaneous conversion of multiple files and lets users choose between color or monochrome raster outputs while providing the freedom to set the background color. Additionally, it prints raster mask files that can be utilized as image channels in software like Photoshop and offers font replacement options. Users can customize the size of the raster files intended for printing and enjoy a full-screen mode by pressing F. Printing capabilities are included, as well as support for AutoCAD pen set files (*.ctb), ensuring each layout's paper settings can be adjusted for optimal output page sizing. Furthermore, the converter effectively removes hidden lines from 3D objects when translating DWG or DXF files into other formats, and it automatically generates PDF bookmarks labeled with layout and file names, which can be edited for convenience. Overall, this tool enhances productivity and versatility in handling DWG files.

Description

ViewCompanion Standard serves as a robust application designed for the viewing, printing, and converting of plotter files produced by CAD programs or plotter drivers. It supports the opening of PLT files in various formats, including HPGL, HP-GL/2, KIPGL, HP-RTL, and Calcomp. Beyond plotter files, the software also accommodates the viewing, printing, and conversion of Adobe PDF, CGM, Autodesk DWF, and Gerber files. A key highlight of ViewCompanion is its capability to transform files into multiple other formats, enhancing versatility. Users can also utilize precise measurement tools that allow for accurate distance and area calculations, with a feature to snap to drawing geometry for increased accuracy. Additionally, if the drawings are not displayed at a 1:1 scale, the measurement tools can be calibrated for accurate results. Moreover, ViewCompanion enables users to enrich their files with annotations, incorporating various markup elements such as stamps, revision clouds, text notes, dimension lines, area measurements, barcodes, symbols, and images, thereby enhancing the overall functionality and usability of the application. This comprehensive suite of features makes ViewCompanion an invaluable tool for professionals working with intricate design files.
