It’s important to keep the highest image quality of these files in order to preserve every detail. By converting your DWG files into PDF or JPEG / PNG / TIFF, you can open the file with any standard file viewer (even your web browser will do). If you only need to view a CAD drawing and don’t need to edit the file, it may be just easier to convert the DWG into a PDF file or image. That's why PDF or image files are commonly used when submitting a drawing for approval or when making a printed copy.ĭWG, DXF, DFT, XMCD files can only be opened with specific CAD programs. Once a CAD file is converted into PDF or image, it gets difficult to edit it. Engineers, drafting technicians and other professionals sometimes need to convert or batch print drawings. Today, the process of drafting has largely been simplified through the use of computer-aided design systems (CAD / CAE / CAM). Both programs have a trial/free version available. Other tools to simplify printing or conversion of DWG filesĪs an alternative, there are less complex desktop CAD processing software solutions – a batch printer and a batch converter.

In addition, you can let FolderMill automatically select the best paper tray, depending on page size of each incoming drawing. It will send them to a certain printer, so that your drawings will be printed on the right printing device. You can configure FolderMill to filter files by paper size. Automatically send drawings to a certain printer or printer tray FolderMill can automate printing of DWG, DXF and other CAD drawings.

you can configure to print CAD drawings in black and white mode only. There's a wide range of settings available, e.g. How to print DWG and other drawings automatically without AutoCADįolderMill can make the printing process fully automated and user-unattended.

The program will process them automatically and give you the resultant files in the Output folder or will send them to the selected printer. When the Hot Folders are configured, you just drop a new file into the Source ( Folder/FTP/Email).

Print the resultant PDFs on a selected printer or multiple printersĪctions can be combined in different ways and assigned to different Hot Folders.

You can combine different Actions together for one Hot Folder and set a sequence of operations, e.g.
