Total CAD Converter converts CAD files to PDF, TIFF, JPEG, BMP, WMF, PNG, DXF, BMP, CGM, HPGL, SVG, PS, and SWF. Source formats include dxf, dwg, dwf, dwfx, plt, hg, hgl, hpg, plo, hp, hpl, hpgl, hp1, hp2, hpgl2, gl2, spl, svg, cgm. Total CAD Converter's user-friendly interface and built-in wizard make it easy to apply project settings (it will even auto-remember previous job settings so that next time you won't need to recreate them from scratch). Total CAD Converter also includes support for project set-up via the command line.

Total CAD Converter offers several unique options when converting lots of CAD files at once:

  • When you convert multiple CAD files to PDF or TIFF you can combine all source files into a single target file. For instance, convert five CAD drawings into one multi-page TIFF or PDF.
  • When converting CAD files to images you can resize, crop and rotate them simultaneously.
  • This powerful AutoCAD converter will help you to turn your CAD drawings into black and white or increase the line weight scale, making the lines more visible. More unique options

Looking to use the autocad converter in your asp or php application with ActiveX? Try the Total CAD ConverterX (SDK). With it, you gain access to a powerful command line CAD converter minus the GUI.

Total CAD Converter Customer Reviews 2025

Rate It
Rated 4.7/5 based on customer reviews
5 Star

"Most of the graphics is good enough for review. Overall, Total CAD Converter is very useful for me to share the CGM to PDF conversions internally with my design team."
4.5 Star Dennis Braithwaite
Sr. Engineer, Daimler Trucks North America

"It's been very helpful having this Autocad converter. We have many old .plt files that we have no way of opening any longer without the help of software like this. So far my only "issue" is that when we convert these .plt files to pdf the file is being scaled down from the original 24x36 size. I've sent an email to Mary in Tech Support and the fix came out the next day."

5 Star Brian Litherland, PE
