What does this format store?+
CAD drawings store geometry, layers, block instances and annotations in drawing units. The browser decoder imports supported objects into one shared drawing document.
How does compression affect quality?+
CAD source only · SVG / PNG / PDF
Is every CAD object reproduced exactly?+
Unsupported CAD objects are reported below and may be absent from the output. Their geometry is not reconstructed.
What should I check before opening the file?+
DWG conversion is in beta. Some CAD objects, fonts, layers and visual styles may not be reproduced exactly.
What changes when I export to another format?+
Supported model-space geometry exports as vector SVG or vector PDF; PNG is a fixed-resolution render. The page fits the drawing bounds and does not preserve a physical plot scale or editable CAD semantics. Available document properties use supported metadata writers. Paper layouts, fonts, proxy objects and visual styles may differ.
When is this format useful?+
Original CAD fonts may be unavailable. Text can use substitute glyphs; SHX execution is disabled. Missing glyphs can be omitted in PNG/PDF.
