AutoDWG DWG to SVG Converter: Turn AutoCAD Drawings into Sharp Web Graphics
AutoDWG DWG to SVG Converter is a $199 Windows program that converts DWG, DXF and DWF drawings (R14 to AutoCAD 2027) into SVG or compressed SVGZ vector files without AutoCAD, one file or a batch at a time. It's a one-time purchase.
SVG is the vector format web browsers display natively. A floor plan, schematic or part drawing saved as SVG stays sharp at any zoom on a website, in a web app or on a phone, and can be styled or edited in vector graphics software. That's what this converter is for.

Before you buy
- Try the free online converter first. AutoDWG's website converts DWG to SVG online for free, with limits: files up to 10 MB, 8 files at a time, color output only. If that covers you, you may not need the desktop program.
- No command line in this edition. AutoDWG offers a Server edition and an SDK (DWG2SVGX) for automated or built-in conversion.
- Refunds are only for technical faults AutoDWG support can't fix, within 15 days, so test your drawings in the trial.

Overview
AutoDWG DWG to SVG Converter works in three steps: select the drawings, choose the output folder, and click Convert Now. Options cover the output size, colors, line weights, which layout to export, and where to find fonts and external references. The desktop program has no file-size cap and more options than AutoDWG's free online converter.
Features
Single files or batches
AutoDWG DWG to SVG Converter converts one drawing or a whole selection in one run, from DWG, DXF or DWF, and writes SVG or space-saving SVGZ files.
Model space, layouts and layers
AutoDWG DWG to SVG Converter exports either model space or paper space layouts and keeps the drawing's layers in the SVG.
Size, color and line weights
AutoDWG DWG to SVG Converter lets you set the SVG's dimensions, choose full color, grayscale or black and white output, and configure line weights so thin and heavy lines read correctly on screen.
Fonts and external references
AutoDWG DWG to SVG Converter uses custom SHX font folders and Xref paths you specify, so text and referenced drawings come out the way they look in AutoCAD.
Who It's For, and Who Should Skip It
It's a good fit for web developers, facility and real-estate teams publishing floor plans online, and product companies putting technical drawings in web catalogs or manuals.
- Skip it if you only convert a few small files. The free online converter may be enough.
- Skip it if you need automation. Look at AutoDWG's Server edition or DWG2SVGX SDK.
- Skip it if you want PDFs. AutoDWG DWG to PDF Converter ($99) is the cheaper tool for that.
Usage Guide
- Download and install the 64-bit trial.
- Browse and select the drawing or drawings to convert.
- Set the output options: size, color, layout, line weights, font and Xref paths.
- Browse to the output folder.
- Click Convert Now.
- After buying, enter the registration code in the installed trial to remove the watermark.
Where it falls short
- Pricier than AutoDWG's other converters. At $199 it costs twice the DWG to PDF Converter.
- Little public documentation. AutoDWG's user guide is a three-step outline with no screenshots, and there are no independent reviews, so rely on the trial.
- No command line in the single-user edition.
FAQs
Can AutoDWG DWG to SVG Converter convert DXF and DWF too?
Yes. AutoDWG DWG to SVG Converter accepts DWG, DXF and DWF files from AutoCAD R14 to 2027.
What is SVGZ?
SVGZ is a gzip-compressed SVG file. AutoDWG DWG to SVG Converter can write it to make large drawings much smaller for the web, and browsers open it like a normal SVG when the server sends it correctly.
Does AutoDWG DWG to SVG Converter need AutoCAD?
No. It reads the drawing files directly.
Is it a subscription?
No. AutoDWG DWG to SVG Converter is a one-time $199 purchase with a year of updates.
System Requirements
- Windows (the installer is 64-bit; the user guide lists XP through Windows 10)
- 1 GB of RAM or more
- 40 MB of free disk space
Conclusion
AutoDWG DWG to SVG Converter is worth $199 if you regularly publish CAD drawings to the web and need more than the free online converter allows: batches, layouts, layers, line weights and SVGZ output without AutoCAD. If you convert only a few small files, try the free online tool first, and if PDF would do, the DWG to PDF Converter is half the price.
