Engineers, architects, and teams that convert CAD drawings to PDF, TIFF, and images — without AutoCAD
Convert DWG and DXF drawings to PDF for sharing
Architects and engineers convert AutoCAD drawings to PDF for clients, contractors, and review boards who don't have CAD software. Batch-convert entire project folders at once, select specific layers to include, and combine multiple sheets into a single multi-page PDF — all without an AutoCAD license.
Archive construction drawings as TIFF or PDF
Construction firms and facility managers convert as-built DWG, DXF, and HPGL drawings to archival TIFF or PDF for long-term storage. Increase line weight for better readability, convert to black-and-white to save print costs, and merge related drawings into one document per building or project phase.
Convert PLT and HPGL plotter files to viewable formats
Manufacturing teams convert legacy PLT, HPGL, and CGM plotter files to JPEG, PNG, or PDF so shop floor operators can view drawings on screens and tablets. Resize and crop drawings for specific print sizes, and use command line mode to automate conversion as new files arrive from CNC systems.
Batch-convert survey drawings to images and PDF
Surveying companies and GIS departments convert DXF site plans, boundary maps, and topographic drawings to high-resolution TIFF or PDF for inclusion in reports and permit applications. Rotate and resize output to fit standard paper sizes, preserving accuracy and scale across hundreds of files.
Integrate CAD conversion into server-side workflows
IT teams use Total CAD Converter's command line interface to build automated conversion pipelines on file servers. New CAD uploads are converted to PDF or SVG on arrival, distributed to stakeholders, and archived — all hands-free. The ActiveX SDK enables integration into custom ASP and PHP applications.
