Hi, I find a very helpful dwg/dxf viewer named CAD Reader. It is so user-friendly and most of the commonly used features are free! It has both versions for computers and mobile phones. I highly recommend it.

In reply to Reb Crocker.

Converting from DWG to PDF (rather than PDF to DWG) is extremely simple. It’s much more complex the other way round.

You can do that with most CAD software. Don’t think you need to outsource to a company.

Are there companies that will take your dwg files and convert them to pdf showing all dimensions and layers?

In reply to Sam Owens. Hi Sam, yes - that's exactly what Scan2CAD is for.

To clarify, does this software allow you to scan an existing paper hard copy illustration or JPEF/PDF file, and automatically set up a layered array for further editing in AutoCAD as a DXF?

Right now, we are scanning illustrations to JPEG and then importing and tracing in AutoCAD

In reply to T. You will probably get a useful answer if you post this question at CAD Answers.

In reply to Abi. Hey Abi, yes of course. You can measure the distance of any part of a vector image using Scan2CAD. You can also input the correct vector scaling information to ensure it's always accurate.

Hello,

Apologies for what may seem a dim question, but will any of these programmes allow me to simply measure distances on CAD plans? I have no need to edit them, simply get the accurate measurement from the file directly!

Many thanks,
Abi
