Is there a way for me to convert a CAD file to a different version?

Yes, you can do that by downloading the ODA converter free! I use the desktop version, and it works great. This helps me convert files between different versions, because some of my customers are using older versions of Autodesk AutoCAD.

PDF to DWG Converter

PDF to DWG Converter

Converting PDF to DWG AutoCAD is easy!

Architects, engineers, and designers are often looking for a PDF to DWG converter. There are services out there that convert any PDF file to a DWG instantly, so you can download the file after a few seconds. Some examples of those are Cadsofttools, and Autodwg. While this may be convenient, it’s not very useful. First of all, these services do not draw the individual lines. They will interpret the lines as dots, and this makes it useless for making changes. Secondly, those services will not use blocks, making it more difficult to remove a wall, door, window, tree, etc. Thirdly, those PDF to DWG instant converters do not use layers. Layers are important to keep things like walls, fixtures, text, electrical separate. Just because a service is free, or instant, doesn’t mean it’s useful.

PDF to DWG Converter by redrawing the plan in AutoCAD by expert drafters.
Our PDF to DWG converter is an expert drafter, redrawing your plans in AutoCAD

What do you need from a PDF to DWG converter?

You need the service to be useful and get a good value.

Here are some features you need when converting to CAD.

  • Layers. It will be difficult to make changes without objects in the file being on separate layers.
  • Typed out text. Often OCR (Optical Character Recognition) doesn’t get everything correct. We re-type the text for an error free result.
  • Use of AutoCAD blocks. You want your windows, doors, and fixtures to be blocks so they can easily be moved or replaced.
  • Scale checked. We always check your plans scale so it fits the given architectural or engineering scale.
  • Located in USA. We are located in Del Mar, California, and are free to call us with any questions or orders.
