DWG2Image Converter Description
DWG2Image Converter is an easy-to-use software program that facilitates a quick method for turning AutoCAD drawings with the DWG, DXF and DWF format into common pictures, namely files with the BMP, JPEG, TIFF, EMF, WMF GIF and PNG extension. The key aspect is that it doesn’t require AutoCAD installed to work properly.
Create configuration files
After a fast setup operation that shouldn’t give you any trouble, you are greeted by a simplistic wizard which lets you begin by creating a new configuration file (.dmc format).
This file keeps a record of all your settings and enables you to open it in future projects to apply the same options when conducting file conversion operations.
Convert individual drawing files or in bulk
In the following step you can convert either a single file or opt for the batch processing option, which gives you the possibility to choose an entire directory whose containing drawings you want to convert. Files can be filtered by type (DWF, DXF or DWF format).
Configure input and output settings
Several customization preferences are put at your disposal for both the input and output files. For instance, you can select the area (zoom extents, last saved view, zoom all) and layout (model or paper space, active layout, output by layout name, all layout) for the drawings.
Furthermore, it’s possible to pick the preferred image file type along with the DPI, width, height, color depth, background color, the pen width and color, SHX fonts directories, as well as the destination folder and new file name. Once the conversion task is completed, you can open the target directory without leaving the wizard.
Evaluation and conclusion
There were no kind of issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the application didn’t freeze, crash or prompt error messages. It had a good response time and minimal impact on computer performance, running on low CPU and RAM. Conversion tasks were carried out rapidly.
All in all, DWG2Image Converter provides you with advanced, yet approachable options for creating common image files from AutoCAD drawings without using AutoCAD itself.
